What do we already know?
• Positive integers are on the right side of
zero. 4
• Negative integers are on the left side of
zero. -4
• This means that they are opposites. -4 + 4
=0

 Let’s plot an expression on the number line and find the sum.

5 + -2 = 3

Step 1: Plot the first integer on the

number line.
Step 2: Plot the second integer on the -2
number line beginning where the last
number left off.

 Let’s plot an expression on the number line and find
the difference.
5 + -2= 3

Step 1: Plot the first integer on the

number line.
Step 2: Plot the second integer on the
number line beginning where the last -2
number left off.

 Let’s plot an expression on the number line and find
each sum.

Step 1: Plot the first integer on the

-3 + -1 = -4 number line.
Step 2: Plot the second integer on the
number line beginning where the last
number left off.

negative integer gives the same solution as
adding its opposite.

Vocabulary
• Define integers: a positive or negative
number.

• Define a positive integer: whole numbers to

the left of zero.

• Define a negative integer: whole numbers to

the right of zero.

 Vocabulary

Define absolute value: the distance from zero.

Plot each of the integers below on a

number line and then tell the absolute value of each.

You already learned that subtracting a negative integer
gives the same solution as adding its opposite.
To help predict whether the sum of two integers will be
positive or negative, you can use these rules.
