Answer 1

It's important to know that the sum of two opposite numbers is zero because opposite numbers have the same absolute value but opposite sign, for example, 2 and -2 are opposite numbers.

The correct number line must have its final position on zero.

Notice that the number line A shows -5 as the initial number and then goes back 5 units to zero.

Therefore, the answer is A.
