Question 15

On a number line drawn with values increasing to the right, select all true statements about the integers 0 and -8.

  1. 0 is greater than -8.Correct answer
  2. -8 is less than zero.Correct answer
  3. -8 is greater than 0, because 8 is greater than 0.
  4. 0 stands to the right of -8 on the number line.Correct answer
  5. 0 is the least value an integer can take.

Explanation

Zero divides the negatives from the positives, so every negative value stands below it and to its left. Treating zero as the smallest value ignores the whole left half of the line, and weighing the digit 8 against 0 ranks how far a value sits from zero rather than where it stands.
