The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to determine the direction of movement on the number line from -16 to the specified points: -15, -20, and 0. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Number Line**: - A number line consists of positive numbers on the right side of 0 and negative numbers on the left side. - For example, it looks like this: ``` ... -20 -19 -18 -17 -16 -15 -14 ... 0 ... 1 2 3 4 ... ``` 2. **Finding the Position of -16**: - On the number line, -16 is located to the left of -15 and to the right of -20. 3. **Moving to -15**: - To move from -16 to -15, we need to go to the right. - Therefore, the direction to reach -15 is **right**. 4. **Moving to -20**: - To move from -16 to -20, we need to go to the left. - Thus, the direction to reach -20 is **left**. 5. **Moving to 0**: - To move from -16 to 0, we again need to go to the right. - Hence, the direction to reach 0 is **right**. ### Final Answers: - a. To reach -15: **Right** - b. To reach -20: **Left** - c. To reach 0: **Right**
