Question

Which number line models 6–10?
Subtract.
6–10=

Answer 1

To model the expression \(6 - 10\) on a number line, you start at the number 6 and move to the left (which represents subtraction) since you are subtracting a larger number (10) from a smaller number (6).

1. Start at 6 on the number line.
2. Move left 10 units.

Since you will go past zero, the final position will be at -4.

So,
\[
6 - 10 = -4
\]
