In basic mathematics, a number line is a picture of a graduated straight line that serves as abstraction for real numbers, denoted by R{\displaystyle \mathbb {R} }. Every point of a number line is assumed to correspond to a real number, and every real number to a point. Often integers are shown as specially-marked points evenly spaced on the line.

Real numbers.
Consider the Complex Plane, with Real numbers along the horizontal axis, and Pure Imaginary numbers on the vertical axis. Any Complex number (a + ib) can be plotted as a point (a,b) on this plane. The point can be represented as a vector from the 'origin' (0,0) to the point (a1,b1). If the second 'complex vector' (a2,b2) is added to the first, this can be shown as a translated vector with it's 'tail' starting at the arrowhead of the first vector, and then the arrowhead of the second vector will terminate at the sum of: a1 + ib1 + a2+ ib2 [coordinate point: (a1+a2,b1+b2)
In most mathematics, it is implied that all numbers are positive. Negative numbers are invariably shown prefixed by a -ve sign. To help clarification, a positive number may occasionally be shown preceded by a +ve sign. The subtraction of a positive number equates to the addition of a negative number. EXAMPLE : 7 - 2 = 5 equates to 7 + (-2) = 5
