To write: the number which represents the situation “Nine degrees below freezing”. Also, write the opposite of this situation and number representing that.

Answer to Problem 4WE
Nine degrees above freezing
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The situation is “Nine degrees below freezing”.
Here, the term “below” indicates the “negative direction”.
So, the situation is represented by the number:
Now, the opposite of below is above.
So, the opposite of given situation is:
“Nine degrees above freezing”
Now, the term “above” indicates the “positive direction”.
And this situation is represented by the number
