Will the opposite of a number always, sometimes, or never be greater than the number itself?

Sometimes because the answer be be a positive, and the opposite would be a negative which is less. But for a negative, it is always greater. So the answer is sometimes will be greater than the number itself.

Sometimes (i believe)

ex: oppotite of 2 is -2, it's not greater than 2

but if the original number is -2, the opposite is 2, which IS greater

so it depends

Ifound this on google “that means that the graph of a function with direct variation has these features: it is a straight line: because the slope is the ratio y/x = k. it passes through the origin (0,0): because y = kx = k (0) = 0.” i hope this you for what your looking for
