Graphing Negative Numbers on a Number Line

The video tutorial covers graphing numbers on a number line, starting with positive numbers and moving to negative fractions. It explains how to convert improper fractions to mixed numbers for easier graphing. The tutorial also discusses comparing negative numbers to determine which is smaller, emphasizing the concept of leftward positioning on the number line.

What is the first step in graphing a number on a number line?

• Create a number line extending to infinity

• Find the number on the number line

• Place a dot above the number line

• Convert the number to a mixed number

Where should you place the dot when graphing a number on the number line?

• Right on the number line

• Above the number line

• Below the number line

• To the left of the number line

How do you graph the number 4.5 on a number line?

• Go to 4 and then move half a unit to the right

• Go to 5 and then move half a unit to the left

• Go to 4 and then move half a unit to the left

• Go to 5 and then move half a unit to the right

What is the first step in graphing the number -11/4?

• Convert it to a mixed number

• Find -11/4 on the number line

• Place a dot at -11/4

• Move 11 units to the left

What is the mixed number form of -11/4?

• -3 and 3/4

• -2 and 1/2

• -2 and 3/4

• -3 and 1/4

How do you graph -2 and 3/4 on a number line?

• Move 2 units to the right and then 3/4 units to the left

• Move 2 units to the left and then 3/4 units to the right

• Move 2 units to the left and then 3/4 units further left

• Move 2 units to the right and then 3/4 units further right

When comparing two negative numbers, which one is smaller?

• The one closer to zero

• The one further to the right

• The one further to the left

• The one with the larger absolute value

Which number is smaller: -2 or -6?

• Cannot be determined

• They are equal

• -6

• -2

What does a smaller number mean in terms of its position on the number line?

• It has a larger absolute value

• It is closer to zero

• It is more to the left

• It is more to the right

Which of the following is true about negative numbers on a number line?

• Negative numbers are always to the right of positive numbers

• The larger the negative number, the further it is to the left

• The smaller the negative number, the further it is to the left

• The larger the negative number, the closer it is to zero
