1. Statistical data can be organized and presented on a number line. Numerical
information displayed on a number line is called a "line plot."
2. The hourly wages earned by the principal wage earner in
ten families is shown in the chart at the right. The data
range from $8.00 per hour to $20.25 per hour. In order
to represent each on a number line, the scale shown must
include these values. A "W" is used to represent each
hourly wage. If more than one "W" has the same
location on the number line, additional "W's" will be
placed one above the other. A line plot on hourly wages
is shown below.
3. Have the students discuss what information can be gained from the line plot. For
example, what is the usual wage? Are any wages very different from the rest?
4. Discuss the possibility of using different symbols to distinguish between sets of
data on the same line plot or to differentiate between values within the same set.
Family Hourly Wage
A $8.00
B $10.50
C $20.25
D $9.40
E $11.00
F $13.75
G $8.50
H $10.50
I $9.00
J $11.00
W W W W W W W W

I'm not really sure which line plot you mean so I assumed it was the x,y axis line plot. One example could be the shooting solution coordinates in a warship

How do you express irrational number on a number line?
Simply plot the irrational number at it's approximate location on the number line and label the irrational number. For example, if you were to plot pi on the number line, you would plot it at about 3.14 and label it with "π" (the pi symbol, if it doesn't show up) Another example is if you want to plot the square root of 2 on the number line. You would plot it at around 1.414 and label it with "√2"
