The number line shows an equation.

Which equation does this number line show?
A. 9 + 13 + 6 + 11 = 39
B. -9 + 13 + 6 - 11 = -1
C. -9 + (-13) + (-6) + 11 = 0
D. -9 + 12 + 6 - 10 = -1

Final answer:

Without an actual number line, it's not possible to determine which equation the number line might represent due to insufficient information. Basic integer operations were explained but the question lacks specific details needed for a definitive answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which equation a number line represents, we need to understand how to add and subtract integers properly. When you add two positive numbers, the result is positive. For example, 9 + 13 = 22. When you add two negative numbers, the result is also negative, like -9 + (-13) = -22. When adding numbers with opposite signs, you subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger one, and the result will have the sign of the number with the larger absolute value. For subtraction, you change the sign of the second number and follow the rules of addition, for instance, -9 + (-11) = -20 or 9 - 11 = 9 + (-11) = -2.

As the question here does not provide the actual number line for reference, we would look to basic integer operations to answer this. However, since the question does not offer sufficient information to accurately determine which equation is represented on the number line and seems to include unrelated references, I am not confident in providing a specific answer without an actual number line or clear context.
