Question

which number line model represents -6 + 2?

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the expression

We have -6 + 2. Starting at -6 on the number - line, adding a positive 2 means moving 2 units to the right.

Step2: Analyze the number - line models

In option A, the arrow starts at -6 and moves 2 units to the left which represents -6 - 2. In option B, the arrows seem to be in a wrong combination for -6 + 2. In option C, the arrow starts at -6 and moves 2 units to the right which is correct for -6+2.

Answer:

The number - line model that represents -6 + 2 is the one that starts at -6 and moves 2 units to the right (the circled option C in the image).
