A horizontal number line has a point that is 6 units to the right of 0.Where would this same number be found on a vertical number line?

Question

1.6 units left
2.6 units right
3. 6 units down
4.6 units up

Answer 1

A horizontal number line has positive values to the right of zero. Since the point is 6 units to the right of 0, it corresponds to the value +6.

On a vertical number line, the positive direction is usually represented upwards, while negative values are downwards. Therefore, the same value (+6) would be found:

4. 6 units up.
