    A contestant in a game show has​ 9,000 points. The contestant answers the next question incorrectly and loses 750 points. Does the word​ “lose” suggest a positive integer or a negative​ integer? What integer represents a loss of 750​ points?

    a) Positive, + 750

    b) Positive , – 750

    c) Negative , +750

    d) Negative , – 750

    Answer:

    d) Negative , – 750

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are told in the question that the contestant has 9000 points

    Then he loses 750 points.

    This means that the 750 points would be deducted from the 9000 points he the contestant has already.

    The word lose is a negative and it carries the Subtraction (-) sign,

    hence, lose suggests a negative integer which is given as:

    -750

    Option d is the correct option
