Janell was at the surface of a swimming pool and recorded the following two measurements, in feet, on a number line: −6, which represents the depth of water in the swimming pool
+8, which represents the height of the slide at the pool

Part A: What does 0 represent in this situation?

Part B: Janell held a pole in the swimming pool. The bottom of the pole was at a depth of 2 feet. How should Janell mark the level of the bottom of the pole on the number line? Explain how you determined this.
