Number Line Names
1. The problem asks to identify the name that describes the numbers highlighted on the number line.
2. The highlighted numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
3. Let's analyze each option:
- Negative numbers: These are numbers less than zero. The highlighted numbers include zero and positive numbers, so this is incorrect.
- Whole numbers: These include all non-negative integers starting from 0 (i.e., 0, 1, 2, 3, ...). The highlighted numbers fit this definition.
- Natural numbers: These are positive integers starting from 1 (i.e., 1, 2, 3, ...). Since 0 is highlighted and natural numbers do not include zero, this is incorrect.
- Integers: These include all whole numbers and their negatives (i.e., ..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...). The highlighted numbers are a subset of integers, but the question asks for the name that describes only those numbers highlighted, so this is too broad.
4. Therefore, the correct name describing only the highlighted numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 is **whole numbers**.
**Final answer:** whole numbers
