Maya plots the yards lost during a football game on a number line and labels it A. She plots Point B to the right of zero, a distance that is exactly as far from zero as Point A is. Which sentence is a correct statement about Point B?

Yards lost are represented by a negative value, so Point A is to the left of zero. Point B is the same distance from zero but to the right, so its value is the opposite of Point A’s. Opposite numbers add to zero, making “The sum of the values of Point A and Point B is zero” correct.
