The infinity sign looks like this: ∞, kind of like a sleeping 8. I'm assuming, of course, that 8's don't sleep standing up, like members of Equidae family can do. This of course leads one to ponder whether or not the "is equals to" symbol, =, is in a sitting or standing position, for one would assume that it and the Equidae family are at least loosely related. This begs the ultimate question, "Is the '║' symbol a sleeping '=' symbol?"

Anyways, the ∞ symbol on a number line simply means that the numbers continue on to infinity, i.e. never end.

When comparing a positive number with a negative number which is the greater number?

The positive number is always greater. However, the modulus of a negative number may be greater. Here is the number line. -infinity,.... -5,-4,-3,-2,-1, 0,+1,+2,+3,+4,+5 .... + infinity. So reading the number line, +2 > -4 . However, the modulus of '-4' is greater than the modulus of +2. . It is written as |-4| > |+2|, that is the number four is greater than the number two. Note the pair of vertical lines. NB I have put in the positive (+) sign to compare against the negative (-), however, a number that does not show a sign is read as positive(+).
