How do u add for example 4 plus negative 6?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
think of the number line: and start at +4
<---------------()---------->
+4
if we 'add' -6 to this we are simply counting to the left instead of the right, since left is the negative direction
<---------------()---------->
-2 -1 0 1 2 3 4
|______________|
-6
OpenStudy (amistre64):
in effect, 4 + (-6) is equaivalent to 4 - 6
OpenStudy (igster1112):
So it's 2

Oh ok....I need to know when I translate 4,-5 6 down and 7 right on a coordinate plain what my new point would be?i was trying to use integer rules to solve it
OpenStudy (amistre64):
down 6 is applied to the -5, not the 4
OpenStudy (amistre64):
(4,-5)
(7,-6)
-----
11,-11
