if a = -8 and b = -b and c = -a which number line shows the correct locations of a , b , and c?
To solve this problem, let's first substitute the given values for a, b, and c:
a = -8
b = 8
c = 8
Since b and c have the same absolute value, they will be located at the same distance from the origin on the number line, but on opposite sides. Therefore, we can place c to the right of 0 and b to the left of 0.
Next, we place a to the left of b, since a has a smaller absolute value than b.
The correct location of a, b, and c on the number line would be:
<---- a (-8) ---- b (8) ---- c (8) ---->
