Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
A number line with given coordinates and distance marked on it.
A number line is used to graphically represent numbers along a line. It consists of 0 as the center point. The positive numbers are marked to the right and negative numbers are marked to the left side of the center point.
In the given figure which is redrawn here along with the position in terms of units, it can be seen that,
(1) 1 unit is marked from center point to left representing -1
(2) 5 units are marked from the previous point to left making the final position to be -6.
This implies that adding the one unit marked in left to 5 units again marked left yields 6 units on the left side of center point, which can be expressed as,
