Question 6 • Grade 7 Mathematics

Answer
A
The second integer is negative.
B
The second integer is greater than the first integer.
C
The second integer is less than the first integer.
D
The second integer is positive.

Explanation

On a horizontal number line, numbers increase as you move from left to right. Since the first integer is the leftmost of the two, the second integer must be greater than it. The second integer could be negative, zero, or positive, so its sign is not determined.
