Represent the following points with $+$ve or $-$ve sign.(a) $a=6$ Steps to the left of zero(b) $b=8$ Steps to the right of zero

Given :

The given terms are, (a)  $a=6$ Steps to the left of zero and (b) $b=8$ Steps to the right of zero.

To do :

We have to represent the given terms with $+$ve or $-$ ve sign.

Solution :

Numbers to the left of zero have a negative sign and the numbers to the right of zero have a positive sign.

(a) 6 steps to the left of zero is $-6$.

Therefore, $a = -6$.

(b) 8 steps to the right of zero is $+8$.

Therefore, $b = +8$.
