10. Draw a number line and answer the following :
(a) Which number will we reach if we move 4 numbers to the right of – 2.
(b) Which number will we reach if we move 5 numbers to the left of 1.
(c) If we are at – 8 on the number line, in which direction should we move to reach – 13?
(d) If we are at – 6 on the number line, in which direction should we move to reach – 1?

Solution:

We use the concepts of positive and negative integers on a number line to answer the given questions.

a) When we move 4 numbers to the right of -2, we reach point 2 on the number line

Which number will we reach if we move 4 numbers to the right of – 2.

b) When we move 5 numbers to the left of 1, we reach point -4 on the number line.

Which number will we reach if we move 5 numbers to the left of 1.

(c) If we are at -8, we should move in the left direction to reach -13.

If we are at – 8 on the number line, in which direction should we move to reach – 13

(d) If we are at -6, we should move in the right direction to reach -1.

If we are at – 6 on the number line, in which direction should we move to reach – 1
