Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Integers are numbers in this set:

{...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...}

The opposite of a number is you just changing the sign of that number. Unless you are asking for the opposite of 0 which is just 0.

Example: The opposite of 5 is -5.

Example: The opposite of -5 is 5.

So the opposite of an integer does not always mean the result will be negative. As you seen above, it could be 0, positive, or negative.
