- point d is 8 units from its opposite on a number line. write the numbers that point d and its opposite represent.
- use the number line to complete parts (a) and (b).
a. plot point f at $-5$.
b. plot point g at $-(-5)$.
c. describe the relationship between point f and point g.
- write the number and describe its relationship to 0 on a number line.
a. ten
b. the opposite of ten
c. the opposite of the opposite of ten
- sasha says that $-(-25)$ is equal to $-25$. julie disagrees and says that $-(-25)$ is equal to 25. who is correct? explain.
Question 5
Step1: Recall number line distance
On a number line, the distance of a point \( x \) from 0 is \( |x| \). So if \( |x| = 5 \), then \( x = 5 \) or \( x = -5 \).
Step1: Define opposite of a number
Let the number be \( x \), its opposite is \( -x \). The distance between \( x \) and \( -x \) is \( |x - (-x)| = |2x| \).
Step2: Solve for x
Given \( |2x| = 8 \), then \( 2x = 8 \) or \( 2x = -8 \). Solving \( 2x = 8 \) gives \( x = 4 \), solving \( 2x = -8 \) gives \( x = -4 \). The opposite of 4 is -4 and vice versa.
Step1: Locate -5 on number line
On the given number line, find the position corresponding to -5 (as marked in the image, F is at -5).
