Use the image to answer the question.
A horizontal axis is shown ranging from negative 20 to 20 in increments of one. Negative 20 is marked with a point labeled A, negative 10 is marked with a point labeled B, 0 is marked with a point labeled C, and 10 marked with a point labeled D.
A vertical number line has a point that is 10 units below 0. Which point on the horizontal number line represents the same number?

The point on the horizontal number line that represents the same number as the point that is 10 units below 0 on the vertical number line is Point A.
To answer this question, we need to determine the number that is 10 units below 0 on the vertical number line.
Since 0 is marked with a point labeled C on the horizontal number line, we know that C represents the number 0.
To find the point that represents the number 10 units below 0, we need to count down 10 units from point C.
In this case, "down" means moving to the left on the horizontal number line. Each increment on the horizontal number line represents a value of 1, so we count 10 units to the left of C.
The point that is 10 units to the left of C is point B.
Therefore, the correct answer is Point B.
