Draw a number line and answer the following:
a) Which number will we reach if we move 5 numbers to the left of 1
b) If we are at –6 on the number line, in which direction should we move to reach –1?
[3 marks]
a)
As we can see from the number line below, if we start from 1 and move 5 numbers to the left of 1 on the number line, we reach the number -4.
[1 mark]
[0.5 mark]
b)
As we can see from the number line, -1 is to the right of -6 on the number line,
[0.5 mark]
Hence, we should move towards the right of the number line if we are at -6 and want to reach -1.
