Question

If several points are graphed on a number line, is the point that is the farthest from 0 always the greatest?explain.

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

On a number line, the 0 is in the middle. Positive numbers are to the right of the 0 and negative numbers are to the left of the 0. A point farthest from 0 could be on the left side and therefore be really small. Therefore the point farthest from 0 is not always the greatest as it could also be the smallest
