Class 6 - Mathematics - Unit 3: Integers - True or False Questions
Question. 35
6 and −6 are at the same distance from 0 on the number line.
Answer:
true
Detailed Answer with Explanation:
- On a number line, the distance from 0 means how far a number is from 0. We do not care about direction (left or right).
-
The distance from 0 is called the absolute value.
We write it as:
\(|a|\) = distance of \(a\) from 0. -
For \(6\):
\(|6| = 6\). -
For \(-6\):
\(|-6| = 6\). -
Both distances are equal:
\(|6| = |-6| = 6\). - So, \(6\) and \(-6\) are at the same distance from 0 (they are on opposite sides).
Therefore: True.
