On the number line, the value of \((-3)\times 3\) lies on right hand side of
–10
–4
0
9
Step 1: Multiply the numbers
((-3) imes 3)
A negative number multiplied by a positive number is negative.
(3 imes 3 = 9)
So the value is:
((-3) imes 3 = -9)
Step 2: Place it on the number line
On a number line, numbers increase to the right.
(ldots,-11,,-10,,-9,,-8,ldots)
Step 3: Compare with the options
Is (-9) to the right of (-10)? Yes, because:
(-9 > -10)
Is (-9) to the right of (-4)? No, because:
(-9 < -4)
It is also not to the right of (0) or (9).
Answer: Right of (-10) (option a).
