Answer 1

The correct way to recognize when two integers are opposite numbers is that **opposite numbers are the same distance from zero on both sides of the number line**. This means that if you have an integer \( x \), its opposite is \( -x \). For example, 3 and -3 are opposite numbers because they are both 3 units away from zero, but on opposite sides of the number line.
