Question

If a quarterback takes a 13-yard loss

when he is sacked, what Integer
represents that loss?

Answer 1

-13

Explanation:

An integer is an whole number without decimals and fractions and can be negative, positive or 0.

In this scenario, the quarterback is losing 13 yards. The loss means that the 13 is negative, because positive would mean that he gains 13 yards. Therefore the loss is represented by the integer -13.
