Question

Mark \[ - 3\], \[ - 7\], \[ - 4\], \[ - 8\], and \[ - 1\] on the number line.

Answer 1

Hint:
Here, we will mark for \[ - 3\] on the number line by taking three numbers on the left side of the 0, mark for \[ - 7\] on the number line by taking seven numbers on the left side of the 0, mark for \[ - 4\] on the number line by taking four numbers on the left side of the 0, mark for \[ - 8\] on the number line by taking eight numbers on the left side of the 0 and mark for \[ - 1\] on the number line by taking one number on the left side of the 0.

Complete step by step solution:
We are given the number \[ - 3\], \[ - 7\], \[ - 4\], \[ - 8\], and \[ - 1\].
We know that a number line is a straight line with numbers places at equal intervals or segment along its length with 0 as its centre, negative numbers on the left-hand side of 0 and positive numbers on the right-hand side of 0.
First, we will consider the number \[ - 3\].
We will mark this number on the number line by taking three numbers on the left side of the 0, we get

Now we will consider the number \[ - 7\].

We will mark this number on the number line by taking seven numbers on the left side of the 0, we get

Consider the number \[ - 4\].

We will mark this number on the number line by taking four numbers on the left side of the 0, we get

We now will consider the number \[ - 8\].

We will mark this number on the number line by taking eight numbers on the left side of the 0, we get

Now we will consider the number \[ - 1\].

We will mark this number on the number line by taking one number on the left side of the 0, we get

Note:
A pictorial representation of numbers evenly marked on a straight line is a number line. We need to make sure the points on a line are equal distance towards the right side of the number 0 and left-hand side of the number 0 in the number line. Do not get confused that the negative numbers always come on the left-hand side of the number line. When we go on the left of the number line, the numbers start getting smaller. Mark the numbers really carefully on the number line.
