Answer 1

To determine the correct subtraction expression represented by the number line model, we need to identify the segment or points on the number line that are relevant to the subtraction.

Let's analyze the options you've provided and consider what the subtraction looks like visually on the number line:

1. **A. negative 3 minus 6**: This involves starting at -3 and moving left to subtract 6, which results in -9.

2. **B. 6 minus 3**: This involves starting at 6 and moving left to subtract 3, resulting in 3.

3. **C. negative 6 minus 3**: This involves starting at -6 and moving left to subtract 3, resulting in -9.

4. **D. 3 minus 6**: This involves starting at 3 and moving left to subtract 6, resulting in -3.

To find the correct option, we need to observe where the subtraction starts on the number line and where it ends. If the number line begins at -3 and extends left, ultimately reaching -9, then the correct option is A. If it starts from 6 and ends at 3, then B is the correct choice.

Without the actual visual of the number line, I can't definitively say which is right. However, you can determine it by checking which subtraction expression matches the starting and ending points you observe on the number line.

So, please look at the starting point and the result on the number line to identify the right answer. If the number line starts at -3 and moves left, it is likely A. If it starts at 6 and moves down to 3, it would be B, and so on for C and D.
