A number line always starts at zero. The numbers to the right are ordered in sequence and are positive whole numbers.
EXAMPLE: 0 1 2 3 4 are positive numbers.
The numbers to the left of zero are negative.
EXAMPLE: 4 3 2 1 0
The order the numbers are in is just like you would count normally.
Negative 4 3 2 1 0 1 2 3 4 Positive
A number line is a line of which numbers are ordered on. Usually from 1 to 100.
Coordinate planes
The ordered pair of real numbers that two intersecting lines have in common is called the "point of intersection." This point represents the coordinates where the two lines meet on a Cartesian plane.
Because if they did not, then they would not be number lines!
The two perpendicular number lines used for graphing ordered pairs of numbers are called the Cartesian coordinate system. The horizontal axis is known as the x-axis, while the vertical axis is called the y-axis. Together, they create a two-dimensional plane for plotting points based on their coordinates.
They are the x and y axes on the Cartesian plane that intersect each at right angles at the point of origin which is (0, 0)
numbers get smaller as you move to the left on the number line number lines can't help you compare numerals
There are infinitely many numbers between any two different numbers. To find a number exactly in the middle between two numbers, calculate the average. That is, add the two numbers, then divide the result by 2.
The Mayans used a combination of dots and lines to represent their numbers. The number thirteen is represented by three dots on top of two horizontal lines.
The number "0" has two lines of symmetry. It is symmetrical both vertically and horizontally, meaning it can be divided into two identical halves along these lines. Other numbers, like "8," also have two lines of symmetry.
Even numbers can be matched up in two lines. Odd numbers have one left over.
You model your equation on a number line to using a bar model.
