Based on the information given, the point n is halfway between 0 and the first segment to the left of 0. This means that n is a negative number.
The point m is halfway between the third and fourth segments to the right of 0. Since the fourth segment to the right of 0 is positive, m in this case must also be positive.
Therefore, the correct statement is:
B. The value of m is positive.
Rational numbers m and n are plotted on the number line below.
The number line showing numbers from -4 to 4 each divided into 4 segments has point n halfway between 0 and the first segment to the left of 0 and point m halfway between third and the fourth segment to the right of 0.
Based on the number line, which statement is true?
A
.
The value of is positive.
B
.
The value of is positive.
C
.
The value of is negative.
D
