Question

Which product is modeled by the number line below? O (-3)(4)O (-2)(4)O (2)(4) O (3)(4)

Answer 1

ANSWER

(-2)(4)

EXPLANATION

We see from the number line that the product starts at 0.

It then takes 4 jumps backwards.

Each jump is 2 units.

Since it takes jumps of 2 units backwards (towards the negative side), we can say in other words that it takes 4 jumps of -2.

So, the product will be:

(-2) * (4)

(-2)(4)
