Answer 4

Try actually trying to answer the question next time, before you resort to asking us ^-^

Answer 5

Now let's say you want to compare the numbers -2 and 1

-2 is the to the left of +1

so -2 is less than 1, ie -2 < 1

Put another way: 1 is greater than -2, so 1 > -2

Answer 6

So let's say you pick on the number +2 or just 2

If another number is to the left of +2, then that number is smaller than 2

-------------------------------------------------------

Again, let's pick on +2

If another number is to the right of +2, then that number is larger than 2

Answer 7

That's how you can use the number line to compare a pair of numbers
