Draw the line (horizontally with positive numbers towards the right and negative numbers towards the left)) and mark the two numbers.

The number which is further to the right along the line is greater than the other; alternatively, this can be expressed as:

The number which is further to the left along the line is less than the other.

If both numbers are the same point (mark) on the line, then they are equal.
