- The collection of numbers ....−2, −1, 0, 1, 2 .... is called integers. These are the numbers with the negative sign and are called negative numbers
- Students will learn that one more than the given number gives successor and one less than the given number gives predecessor.
- Addition of integers
- Addition of integers on a number line
- Subtraction of integers with the help of a number line
- Additive inverse: It is the number which when added to an integer a, gives the result 0.
- To subtract an integer from another integer it is enough to add the additive inverse of the integer that is being subtracted, to the other integer.
Summarization of all the important points of the chapter are given at the end.

Question 9:
For the following statements, write True (T) or False (F). If the statement is false, correct the statement.
(a) − 8 is to the right of − 10 on a number line.
(b) − 100 is to the right of − 50 on a number line.
(c) Smallest negative integer is − 1
(d) − 26 is greater than − 25.
Answer:
(a) True (−8 > −10)
(b) False (−50 > −100)
−100 is to the left of −50 on a number line.
(c) False, as the greatest negative integer is −1.
(d) False, as −26 is smaller than −25.

Question 10:
Draw a number line and answer the following:
(a) Which number will we reach if we move 4 numbers to the right of − 2.
(b) Which number will we reach if we move 5 numbers to the left of 1.
(c) If we are at − 8 on the number line, in which direction should we move to reach − 13?
(d) If we are at − 6 on the number line, in which direction should we move to reach − 1?
Answer:
(a)
We will reach at 2, if we move 4 numbers to the right of −2.
(b)
We will reach at −4, if we move 5 numbers to the left of 1.
(c)
Clearly, −13 is to the left of −8. Therefore, we should move towards the left direction.
(d)
Clearly, −1 is to the right of −6. Therefore, we should move towards the right direction.
