The number line in the image shows jumps from \(-10\) to \(0\), broken down into two equal jumps of 5 units each: one from \(-10\) to \(-5\) and another from \(-5\) to \(0\). This can be interpreted as adding two steps of 5 to reach zero from \(-10\).

This is a classic representation of multiplication through repeated addition. The movement reflects:

\[
2 \times 5 = 10
\]

But since the movement starts at \(-10\), the equation shows the movement on the number line as:

\[
2 \times 5 = 10, \quad \text{shifting from} \, -10 \, \text{to} \, 0.
\]
