Answer 2

The correct answer would be that all options A, B, C, and D are correct. Each pair of numbers on the number lines are opposites of each other and their sum is 0. However, if the question implies choosing only one correct answer, it might be referring to a specific pair of opposites that the question-setter has in mind, In standard practice, each of these options correctly represents a pair of opposite numbers whose sum is 0.

To select the number line that shows two opposite numbers with a sum of 0. The options are A, B, C, and D, each with a number line and two points highlighted on it. We will analyze each option:

• Option A: Shows two points, one at -6 and the other at +6. The sum of -6 and +6 is 0.
• Option B: Shows two points, one at -5 and the other at +5. The sum of -5 and +5 is 0.
• Option C: Shows two points, one at -1 and the other at +1. The sum of -1 and +1 is 0.
• Option D: Shows two points, one at -2 and the other at +2. The sum of -2 and +2 is 0.

All options show two opposite numbers that have a sum of 0. Opposite numbers are defined as pairs of numbers that, when added together, equal zero. For instance, 5 and -5 are opposites because 5 + (-5) = 0.
