Answer:

They are called opposites.

Explanation:

"Zero is called the origin, and it's neither negative nor positive. For every positive integer, there's a negative integer an equal distance from the origin. Two integers that lie the same distance from the origin in opposite directions are called opposites. For example, negative 5 is the opposite of positive 5."
