Which model represents the equation: −2−14=−16?(1 point)

Responses

A number line with arrows at both the ends ranges from negative 10 to 20 in increments of 1, but labeled in increments of 10. A closed circle is placed on 16, which is also labeled, and on negative 2. A curved arrow is drawn rightward from negative 2 to 16.

The model that represents the equation -2-14=-16 is the fourth option:

A number line with arrows at both the ends ranges from negative 20 to 0 in increments of 1, but labeled in increments of 10. A closed circle is placed on the negative 2 tick mark, which is also labeled, and on negative 16. A curved arrow is drawn leftward from negative 2 to negative 16.

The model that represents the equation -2 - 14 = -16 is:

A number line with arrows at both ends ranges from negative 10 to 20 in increments of 1, but labeled in increments of 10. A closed circle is placed on negative 2 and on negative 14, which is also labeled. A curved arrow is drawn leftward from negative 2 to negative 14.

This model shows the subtraction operation with a start point of -2 and a subtraction of 14, resulting in a final point of -16 on the number line.
