I know what is meant by opposite numbers. But what is meant by opposite points on the number line?

I believe that would be like -3 and +3. Negative numbers and positive numbers are on opposite sides of the zero, therefore they are opposite points on the number line.

Range: Smallest number subtracted from the largest in a set of numbers.\n\nMedian: Arrange all the numbers in numerical order, and find the middle number.\n\nMode: The number that appears most in a set of numbers.

It means 'the opposite is correct'

The slope of a line is defined as:\n\nm = (change in y) / (change in x)\n\nor:\n\nm = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)\n\nGiven the points (-3, 3) and (0,-3) means:\n\nx1 = -3\nx2 = 0\ny1 = 3\ny2 = -3\n\nPlugging these numbers into the equation for m yields:\n\nm = (-3 - 3) / (0 - -3)\n\nm = (-3 - 3) / (0 + 3)\n\nm = (-6) / (3)\n\nm = -2\n\nNote that a slope of 0 means that there is no change in y, or that y1 = y2

-5678894\n\nthink of the number line. when subtracting 5678899 from 5, you are just basically going backwards on the number line, to the negative direction because you are subtracting. and (if) you did that, you will get the answer of -5678894

It refers to the slope of a line and the y-intercept.

y = -1 is a horizontal line that contains the points (n, -1)\n\nhow far is (3, 4) from that line?  Subtrace the y-coordinates: 4 - (-1) = 5

A, see 3x+2y=12 in slope-intercept form is "y= -3/2x+6"\nperpendicular lines have slope that are negative reciprocals of each other. Meaning, essentially that you flip the number and change the sign.\nHope it helps..

If from left to right gets bigger or more positive, and from down to up gets bigger or more positive regarding numeric values, then it makes sense to label the quadrants in that manner.  You start with all positive values in the first quadrant.  Then y values are positive and x values are negative in the second.  Then all values are negative in the third.  Last, y values are negative and x values are positive.\nThe assumption is that x is on the horizontal axis and y is on the vertical axis.

No, because the opposite of -5 is 5 which is positive; the opposite of 0 is 0 which is neither positive nor negative.\n\nThis is why the expression "-x" should never be read as "negative x" but rather "the opposite of x" since if x itself were negative, -x would be positive.

Perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals of each other.  For example, if a line has a slope of -3, lines perpendicular to it will have slopes of  1/3.\n\nTo see it, draw a line through the origin that has a slope of -3. It will intersect (-1,3).  Now draw a line through the origin that intersects (3,1).  \n\nGary H

Well, y=x/(x-1).\nSO, y(x-1)=x, or yx-y=x.\nSo, yx-x=y, or x(y-1)=y, so x=y/(y-1).\nSo, that means y is any real number except 1.\nSo, the range is any real number except 1.

Assume you have a number line, and through the origin (0) of that number line, you place another number line perpendicular to the first, so that the second origin is the same point as the first origin.  Now you have a [rectangular/Cartesian] coordinate plane.\nYou denote a point by measuring its distance along the horizontal axis from the origin, and then measuring its distance along the vertical axis from the origin and coming up with notation like (8,4).  It's 8 "to the right" and 4 "up" from the origin.\nWe use this plane to graph lines, circles, hyperbolas, parabolas, ellipses, etc.\n\nIf you don't want to get confused, stop reading here.\n\nThere is also a [circular/polar] coordinate plane, wherein you take a number line, and chop off half of it at the origin, so it's a ray.  The first coordinate is the distance from the origin along that ray.  The second coordinate is the measure of the angle you would make with the ray, and a second ray passing starting at the origin and including the point in question [typically measured in radians, so pi radians is 180°].  Like (4, 0) is 4 units "to the right" of the origin and (4,pi) is 4 units "to the left" of the origin.\nThis coordinate system is useful for graphing spirals and other looping curves.

This can't be answered either "true" or "false". Integers comprise the set of whole numbers (1,2,3,...) A positive integer and a negative integer will have a sum of zero if their absolute values are identical.(Absolute value is defined as the difference between a quantity and zero.So+1 and-1 have identical absolute values and their sum is zero, but +1 and -2 do not have identical absolute values, so their sum is not zero{it is, in fact,-1}).

You are usually given a point to plot.  The point is written as (-4, 2).  The first number represents x and the second represents y such as (x,y)\n\nTo plot the point, you start at the origin (middle) which is (0,0)\n\nThe x-axis is the horizontal line that goes left and right.  You put your pencil on the origin *but don't make any marks*\n\nLook at the first number in the ordered pair (-4,2)\nIt's -4.   You move across to -4 (on the x-axis...the horizontal line) and stop your pencil there but don't make a mark.\n\nThen look at the second number (-4,2) and you see it's 2.  Since 2 is positive you move up to spaces and then plot your point.  If it was negative, you would move down that number of spaces on the y-axis (vertical line).\n\nHope this helps.  Plotting points is fun.

every time i've asked a teacher this, they've told me that its an even number.  The only reason i can come up with is that it is found between  two odd numbers. (-1 and 1)
