When Adding A Negative Number On A Numberline You Move Left On the Number Line. True Or False
I answered this kind of question before, so I won't get into detail. Before I showed that subtracting a negative number will move you right. It follows that adding one will move you left. Thus, TRUE.
True. When adding a negative number on a number line, you move to the left. To understand why, let's consider the concept of addition on a number line.
On a number line, positive numbers are found to the right of zero, while negative numbers are found to the left of zero. The distance between each consecutive whole number is the same. So, if we want to add a positive number, we move to the right, and if we want to add a negative number, we move to the left.
For example, if we start at 0 and want to add +3, we move three units to the right, ending at 3. On the other hand, if we start at 0 and want to add -3, we move three units to the left, ending at -3. This is why adding a negative number on a number line involves moving to the left.
