Answer (2)

So it's on 0-k on the number line
If it's opposite that i.e. to the right if zero, then 0+k

A number k units to the left of 0 is represented as − k . Its opposite is k units to the right of 0. Thus, the opposite of a number that is k units to the left of 0 is at location k on the number line.
