Adding a negative number is the equivalent to moving to the left on a negative-positive number line.

Subtracting a negative number has the same effect as adding a positive number - think of it as moving right on a number line whereas, subtracting a positive number will move you left on a number line.
You can count on me?
The line has a negative slope (or negative gradient).When the angle between the line and the positive direction of Ox is obtuse then the slope is negative. Conversely, when the angle is acute, the slope is positive.
negative 2.6 is farther to the left
When subtracting, the number moves to the left (negative direction). When adding, the number moves to the right (positive direction).
Count the distance of the number from 0, ignoring the direction in which you are moving.

just think of the negative number as below the zero on the number line. just like the positive numbers are above the zero on the number line. then count out how far you have to go to get to your number. you can also treat the negative number like you a minusing that number take -3 and 7 -3 + 7 = 4 7 - 3 = 4
7 because the absolute value of a negative number is how far away it is from zero, hence the 7. hope that helps, if not you can use a number line and count from -7 to 0
To subtract a positive number, you go the specified number of units to the left. To subtract a negative number (which is the same as adding the corresponding positive number), you go to the right.
Absolute value describes the distance of a number on the number line from 0 without considering which direction from zero the number lies. The absolute value of a number is never negative. The absolute value of 5 is 5.
what is the greatest or least from the number line negative or greater
Acceleration is negative when the object is moving in the opposite direction. on a graph the line would be in the negative quadrant.
always a negative number. just think about going backwards on a number line.
A number line can have both positive and negative numbers. You can put the number line in any position, but often it is represented so that numbers to the right of zero are positive, and numbers to the left of zero, negative.
