Question
Use the number line and add the following integers: $(-2) + (-8)$
✓
Answer
On the number line, we start from $0$ and move $2$ steps to the left to reach point $A.$
Now, starting from $A$, we move $8$ steps to the left to reach point $B.$
$B$ represents the integer $-10$ Therefore, $(-2) + (-8) = -10$
Now, starting from $A$, we move $8$ steps to the left to reach point $B.$
$B$ represents the integer $-10$ Therefore, $(-2) + (-8) = -10$
