Question

A number line is shown below.

the number line shows numbers from negative 5 to 5 in intervals of 1. The point A is at negative 4, the point B is at negative 2, the point C is at 0, the point D is at 1, and the point E is at 2.

Which point on the number line represents the opposite of –2? Use the drop-down menus to choose the responses that make each statement true.

Query 1
represents the value that is the opposite of –2. This is true because both –2 and Query 2
are 2 units from Query 3
.

Answer 1

your answer are wrong the type of answer are point A
Which point on the number line represents the opposite of –2? Use the drop-down menus to choose the responses that make each statement true.

Query 1
represents the value that is the opposite of –2. This is true because both –2 and Query 2
are 2 units from Query 3
.

Answer 2

To find the opposite of \(-2\), we need to identify the number that is equidistant from zero but on the opposite side of the number line. The opposite of \(-2\) is \(2\).

Now we can complete the statements:

**Query 1:** \(2\) represents the value that is the opposite of \(-2\). This is true because both \(-2\) and **\(2\)** are 2 units from **\(0\)**.

So, the completed responses are:
- Query 1: **2**
- Query 2: **2**
- Query 3: **0**

Answer 3

I apologize for the misunderstanding. Let's use the point labels you provided:

- Point A is at \(-4\)
- Point B is at \(-2\)
- Point C is at \(0\)
- Point D is at \(1\)
- Point E is at \(2\)

To find the opposite of \(-2\):

**Query 1:** \( \text{Point E} \) represents the value that is the opposite of \(-2\). This is true because both \(-2\) and \( \text{Point E} \) (which is \(2\)) are 2 units from \( \text{Point C} \) (which is \(0\)).

So, the completed responses are:
- Query 1: **Point E**
- Query 2: **Point E**
- Query 3: **Point C**

Thank you for your understanding!
