If we select -9 in the number line, then we need to add 6. Because 6 is positive, we need to move 6 units to the right of -9, it will give:
-9 + 6 = -3
When we have two values A and B and we want to add them using the number line, the first thing we need to do is select one of these two, and locate it on the number line.
Once we did that, the other number will tell us how many units we need to move to the left (if B is negative) or to the right (if B is positive).
In this case the two numbers are -9 and 6.
If we select -9 in the number line, then we need to add 6. Because 6 is positive, we need to move 6 units to the right of -9, it will give:
-9 + 6 = -3
We will get the exact same thing if we first step on the number 6 on the number line, and then move 9 units to the left, we will got -3.
