Answer 1

Answer:

The position of the car is +2 or simply 2

Explanation:

The position of an object is usually given from a reference position.

A number line is used to specify the position of the car in the given question.

A number line has numbers arranged on a straight line with positive and negative numbers found on both sides of zero serving at the center of the number line. Positive numbers are found to the right of zero on the number line while negative numbers are found to the left of zero onnthe number line.

In the given question, the number line has ticks marks every 2 units.

The car sits above the tick mark for 2 with a dashed red line leading to the tick mark.

Since the car is found to the right of zero on the number and sits above the tick mark for 2, the position of the car is +2 or simply 2
