Question

Responses

−5 and −10 are both to the left of 0.
negative 5 and negative 10 are both to the left of 0.

−5 is 5 units to the left of −10.
negative 5 is 5 units to the left of negative 10 .

−5 is 15 units to the right of −10.
negative 5 is 15 units to the right of negative 10 .

−5 is 5 units to the right of −10.

Answer 1

The correct interpretation of the inequality −5 > −10 in terms of their positions on a number line is:

−5 is 5 units to the right of −10.

This is because on a number line, numbers increase as you move from left to right. Since −5 is greater than −10, it is located to the right of −10, and the distance between them is 5 units.
