The opposite of 2/3 is -2/3. The opposite of -2/3 is 2/3. Therefore, the image that shows the opposite of the opposite of 2/3 is A.

The image shows 4 number lines, each labeled A, B, C, and D. Each number line has the numbers 2, 1, 0, -1, and -2.

Number line A shows the numbers 2, 1, 0, -1, and -2 in descending order from top to bottom.

The number 2/3 is not shown on any of the number lines.

The opposite of 2/3, which is -2/3, is also not shown on any of the number lines.

However, the number 2/3 is the same distance from 0 as -2/3, but on the opposite side of the number line.

Therefore, number line A is the only one that shows the opposite of the opposite of 2/3.
