Step-by-step explanation:
. Temperature
AD & BC Time
Temperature is another way integers are shown in real life, because the temperature is always either over 0 or below zero. An example would be at night it could be -2 degrees and half way through the day it might be +23 degrees.
This shows the timeline being part of integers. If you're alive today, you're +2015 AD, but if you were alive 100 years before Christ, then you'd be -100 BC.
Speed Limit
When you're driving, you can go over, or under the speed limit. If you go over, it's a negative, because if you speed you have to pay a fine, which means you'll have less money, which is a negative, but if you don't speed, you'll not lose money and that would be a positive.
