Question 3 • AFHS CA Solving Equations (GE 5)

Which situation would not be represented by the integer -9?

Answer
A
a hole 9 feet deep
B
a temperature of 9° below zero
C
9 dollars withdrawn from the bank
D
a football pass of 9 yards

Explanation

A negative integer represents a value below zero or a loss, such as a hole 9 feet deep, a temperature 9° below zero, or 9 dollars withdrawn. A football pass of 9 yards is a positive distance, so it would be represented by 9, not -9. Therefore, the situation that would not be represented by -9 is a football pass of 9 yards.
