Question

Draw a number line and answer the following :
Which number will we reach if we move \[4\] numbers to the right of \[-2\] ?

Answer 1

Hint: In this question, we need to find which number will we reach if we move \[4\] numbers to the right of \[−2\] in a number line. First, we need to draw a number line containing \[0\] and the left side of the number line contains negative numbers whereas the right side of the number line contains positive numbers. Then , we have to move \[4\] six steps towards the right starting from \[-2\]. Using this we can find the required number.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Given here we need to find which number will we reach if we move \[4\] numbers to the right of \[−2\] in a number line.
Now let us draw a number line by mentioning both positive and negative numbers on both sides of \[0\], where \[0\] is the midpoint of the number line.
Then we have to move \[4\] steps towards right from the number \[-2\].

Now on moving \[4\] steps towards right from the number \[-2\] is \[2\] .
Thus the number is \[2\] .
Final answer :
The number that reaches if we move \[4\] numbers to the right of \[-2\] is \[2\] .

Note: We also need to know that if we subtract a number from a particular number in a number line , then we have to move towards the left from that number and the number of steps moved will be the same as the number subtracted . Similarly if we add a number from a particular number in a number line , then we have to move towards right from that number and the number of steps moved will be the same as the number added.
