At a distance of 4 tick marks above 0 At a distance of 4 tick marks below 0 At a distance of 2 tick marks below 0 At a distance of 2 tick marks above 0

Answer 1

The opposite of 2 tick marks below zero is ...

... At a distance of 2 tick marks above 0

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct option is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given number line only the whole even numbers are labeled.

Vertical number line from negative 6 to positive 6 in increments of 2 is shown.

A point labeled R is placed on the 2nd tick mark below the 0. It means point R is placed at -4.

The opposite number of -4 is 4.

So the location of the opposite of the number R is at a distance of 2 tick marks above 0.

Therefore the correct option is 4.
