Adding Integers

Question 2 • SS-Math 7

Jalen plots two integers on a horizontal number line. The leftmost integer is negative. Which must be true of the second integer?

Answer
A
The second integer is negative.
B
The second integer is positive.
C
The second integer is greater than the first integer.
D
The second integer is less than the first integer.

Explanation

On a horizontal number line, numbers increase as you move from left to right. Since the first integer is the leftmost and the second is to its right, the second integer must be greater than the first. It could be negative, zero, or positive, so its sign is not determined.
