Have you drawn your number line?

lilshane · Answer

yeah

anonymous · Answer

did you label all the points from -10 to 10?

lilshane · Answer

yup

anonymous · Answer

Great!!  So going through the question it says to mark point -7.  Make a circle around it so it's easy to find.

anonymous · Answer

Now all thats left is to choose the BEST description that fits this situation.  In other words, how many points away to the right or left matches the description.
