2.1 Integers and the Number Line
• Whole numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …
• Opposites: Numbers that are the
same distance from zero, but on

–Ex: 3 (“positive three”)
and – 3 (“negative three”)
• Integers: consists of the positive
whole numbers, negative whole
numbers, and zero
{… - 4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …}
