Represent the following numbers on a number line:
(a) +5
(b) -10
(c) + 8
(d) -1
(e) -6
(a) We can observe that,
The integer has a positive sign
Therefore,
It will lie on the Right-hand side of the zero in the number line
Hence,
We can represent the number on a number line as follows:
(b) We can observe that,
The integer has a negative sign
Therefore,
It will lie on the left hand side of the zero in the number line
Hence,
We can represent the number on a number line as follows:
(c) We can observe that,
The integer has a positive sign
Therefore,
It will lie on the right hand side of the zero in the number line
Hence,
We can represent the number on a number line as follows:
(d) We can observe that,
The integer has a negative sign
Therefore,
It will lie on the left hand side of the zero in the number line
Hence,
We can represent the number on a number line as follows:
(e) We can observe that,
The integer has a negative sign
Therefore,
It will lie on the left hand side of the zero in the number line
Hence,
We can represent the number on a number line as follows:
