Question

type the missing numbers.

\leftarrow | -80 | | -70 | -65 | -60 | | -50 | -45 | -40 | \

Explanation:

Determine the interval step size

The labeled tick marks on the number line are:

$$ -80, \text{ [blank 1] }, -70, -65, -60, \text{ [blank 2] }, -50, -45, -40, \text{ [blank 3] } $$

Looking at the consecutive labeled values:

$$ -60 - (-65) = 5 $$

$$ -65 - (-70) = 5 $$

The distance between each adjacent tick mark is \(5\) units.

Calculate the missing values

Using the step size of \(5\):

• The first blank is between \(-80\) and \(-70\):

$$ -80 + 5 = -75 $$

• The second blank is between \(-60\) and \(-50\):

$$ -60 + 5 = -55 $$

• The third blank is one step to the right of \(-40\):

$$ -40 + 5 = -35 $$

Answer:

Type the missing numbers.

-80, <blank>-75</blank>, -70, -65, -60, <blank>-55</blank>, -50, -45, -40, <blank>-35</blank>
