A number line with arrows on both ends ranges from negative 40 to 60 in increments of 10. Closed points are marked at negative 35 and 55. A curved arrow points from 55 to negative 35 and is labeled as negative 90.

Joyce uses the subtraction algorithm to subtract −35−55 and gets the answer −90. She connects this expression and answer to a number line model. Fill in the blanks to explain what is shown in the number line model.
