Use number lines to locate opposites and reverse reflections.

Route Markers

A family is taking a road trip across national parks. Their route notes use signed locations on straight roads: positive is east of a reference stop, negative is west, and 0 is the reference stop. Each diagram uses its own reference stop.

At the first park, a picnic area is at −6 miles. Another stop is its reflection across 0.
