In basic Mathematics students are taught about the Number Line. This is a straight line with a point identified as 0 (zero). Numbers to the right of zero are positive numbers such as 1, 2, 3, 4........and so on. Numbers to the left of zero are negative numbers such as -1, -2, -3, -4.........and so on. As you move from left to right, numbers become greater. As you move from right to left, numbers become less. So that 7 is less than 8. This is stated using the sign "< " and we write 7< 8. But you can also have, for example -1< 8, -33 < 2 and -15 < -3. These are Inequality Statements. As long as the number to the left of this type of statement (less than statement) is further left on the number line than the number to the right, then this inequality applies.

number line. Writing numbers on a number line makes it easy to see which numbers are greater or less. Negative numbers (−) Positive numbers (+) (The line goes right and left forever.) The number on the left is less than the number on the right. Examples: 5 less than 8; 5 less than 8; 5 is less than 8; 5 is less than 8; 5

Negative Number- is any real number less then zero on a number line.
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.
