Ok Guys I really need help asap

1. Which number is farthest to the right on the number line?
a.-15
b.-1
c.0
d.1

2. Find /-5/.
a.-5
b.5
c.1/5
d.-1/5

i think it is -1 and -5 im not sure tho

It is d and b.

thx reiny

1, draw a number line you can easily see

2,it should be |-5| instead of /5/, that | | is absolute value of a number, which makes all negative number to be positive, and positive number remain positive. Thus, turn -5 to be positive 5.

Sure, I can help you with these questions!

1. To find the number that is farthest to the right on the number line, we need to look for the largest positive number among the given options.

So, let's analyze the options:
a. -15: This is a negative number, so it will be to the left of zero on the number line.
b. -1: This is also a negative number, so it will be to the left of zero too.
c. 0: Zero is neither positive nor negative, so it is in the middle of the number line.
d. 1: This is a positive number, so it will be to the right of zero on the number line.

Therefore, the number farthest to the right on the number line among the given options is 1 (option d).

2. The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on the number line. To find the absolute value of -5 (represented as /-5/), we simply remove the negative sign.

So, the absolute value of -5 is 5.

Among the given options, the absolute value of -5 is 5 (option b).

I hope this helps!

Those appear to be wild guesses.

why not place the given numbers on a number line and see which lands farthest to the right?

By definition , the absolute value of any number is NEVER negative, ruling out a) and d)
