Question

Kailey correctly graphed the opposite of –3.3 on the number line.

A number line going from negative 5 to positive 5. Point A is between negative 4 and negative 3, point B is between negative 3 and negative 2, point C is at 3.3, and point D is at 3.9.

Which point could be the point Kailey graphed?
A
B
C
D

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

The opposite of negative 3.3 is positive 3.3 or just 3.3 so therefore the answer would be C as it is slightly ahead of 3 on the number line but not so far as to indicate anything larger.

Answer 2

Point a because -3 is between -4 and -3
