Answer 2

NO

Explanation:

Opposite numbers are the same distance from 0 on the number line, but in opposite directions. Steps I would follow:

first, check the directions to make sure they are opposite,

then read the digits, or count the tick marks or compare lengths with dividers or ruler or marks on a piece of paper to see if the distances are the same.

3 is not the opposite of -6

Therefore 6 is the opposite of -6
