Understanding Integer Comparisons

This video tutorial explains how to compare integers using a number line. It covers the basic principles of integer comparison, such as the position of positive and negative numbers relative to zero, and how to use inequality symbols to represent these comparisons. The tutorial provides several examples, including comparisons between negative and positive integers, as well as comparisons involving large negative numbers. The video emphasizes the importance of the number line in visualizing and understanding the relationships between different integers.
