The correct number sentence that represents the given number line is:
2 plus (negative 5) equals negative 3.
To determine the number sentence represented by the given number line, we need to analyze the position of the dots and the direction of the arrow.
First, let's start with the dots on the number line. The dot at negative 3 suggests that we are subtracting 3. The dot at 2 indicates that we are adding 2.
Now, let's consider the arrow that connects the two small lines above the dots. The arrow pointing to the left implies subtraction since it is moving towards the negative side of the number line.
Putting all of this information together, we can conclude that the number sentence represented by the number line is: 2 + (-3) = 2 - 3 = -1
Therefore, none of the provided answer choices accurately represent the number sentence for this specific number line.
