Answer: True

Explanation:

If you draw a vertical number line, the numbers in it will infinitely extend in both directions (up and down), having the zero 0 as the neutral number (the origin).

Then, the numbers that are above the origin are the positive integers and represent the distance of an object above zero, while the numbers below the origin are the negative integers and represent perfectly the distance of an object underground (below the origin).
