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
.

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:
I apologize for the misunderstanding. Let's use the point labels you provided:
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:
Thank you for your understanding!
