Describe the location of the sum, relative to p, on a number lineP+(-2)

Answer:The location of the sum is 2 units before P (left to P)Step-by-step explanation:* Lets describe the number line- A number line is a horizontal straight line with numbers placed at  an equal units- A number line can be extended infinitely to the left and to the right - A number line represents both positive and negative integers- The numbers come on it from left to right- The negative numbers come on the left of zero and the positive   numbers come on the right of zero- Ex: -5 , -4 , -3 , -2 , -1 , 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 part of the numbers on the  number line- To add numbers on the number line we start from first number of   the addition and if this number is added by a positive number we   go to right , if the number is added by a negative number   we go to left- Ex: 5 + 3 ⇒ go from 5 to the right 3 units, then your position is at 8  2 + (-3) ⇒ go from 2 to the left 3 units then your position is at -1* Now lets solve the problem- The sum of P + (-2)∵ Your location is P∵ You will add P by (-2)- Negative number means you go to the left∴ Your position will be before P by two units∴ The location of the sum is 2 units before P (left to P)
