Explanation:

Mathematically, OPPOSITES are the same distance away from zero, but on opposite sides of zero on the number line. Use the drawing tools to plot a point at the opposite of each colored point. The absolute value of 0 is 0. Two numbers are opposites if they have the same absolute value but different signs.
