A number line with arrows at both ends starts at 0, with three dots next to it, and continues from 700 to 712 in increments of 2. A line with tick marks at 0 and at 712 is drawn above the number line and is labeled as 712.

The opposite of 712 on the number line would be the same distance as 712 but in the opposite direction. Since the number line starts at 0 and goes up to 712 in increments of 2, the distance from 0 to 712 is 712 units. Therefore, the opposite of 712 would also be 712 units from 0 in the opposite direction.
