- 1. (b) a negative number — Numbers below zero are negative.
- 2. (b) −4 — −4 is a negative whole number, an integer.
- 3. (b) −1 — −1 is closest to zero, so it is greatest.
- 4. (d) 8 — The opposite of −8 is 8.
- 5. The positive whole numbers, zero, and the negative whole numbers together.
- 6. −3, because it is closer to zero (to the right) on the number line.
- 7. On a number line, zero is placed in the middle, the positive integers go to the right and the negative integers to the left, with each integer one equal step from the next. To compare two integers, the one lying further to the right is greater. This means every positive number is greater than zero, zero is greater than every negative number, and among two negatives the one nearer to zero is greater — for instance −2 is greater than −5, even though 5 is a bigger digit than 2.
