Question

Draw a number line and answer the following :
Which number will we reach if we move $$4$$ numbers to the right of $$-2$$ ?

Answer 1

Hint: In this question, we need to find which number will we reach if we move $$4$$ numbers to the right of $$-2$$ in a number line. First, we need to draw a number line containing $$0$$ and the left side of the number line contains negative numbers whereas the right side of the number line contains positive numbers. Then , we have to move $$4$$ six steps towards the right starting from $$-2$$. Using this we can find the required number.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Given here we need to find which number will we reach if we move $$4$$ numbers to the right of $$-2$$ in a number line.
Now let us draw a number line by mentioning both positive and negative numbers on both sides of $$0$$, where $$0$$ is the midpoint of the number line.
Then we have to move $$4$$ steps towards right from the number $$-2$$.

Now on moving $$4$$ steps towards right from the number $$-2$$ is $$2$$ .
Thus the number is $$2$$ .
Final answer :
The number that reaches if we move $$4$$ numbers to the right of $$-2$$ is $$2$$ .

Note: We also need to know that if we subtract a number from a particular number in a number line , then we have to move towards the left from that number and the number of steps moved will be the same as the number subtracted . Similarly if we add a number from a particular number in a number line , then we have to move towards right from that number and the number of steps moved will be the same as the number added.
