Question

Describe in detail how you would create a number line with the following points: 4, 1.25, the opposite of 3, and − (−2 fraction of one-half ). Please be sure to describe on which tick marks each point is plotted and how many tick marks are between each integer. It may help for you to draw this number line by hand on a sheet of paper first. (7 points)

Answer 1

Answer:

Given : points 4, 1.25 opposite of 3 , -1/2

To find : draw on number line

Explanation:

Number with a negative sign are less than zero

Right of zero represented by ‘+’sign and to the left of zero represented by ‘-’sign.

+ sign numbers can be denoted as simply numbers

On a number line the number increases as we move to the right and decreases as we move to the left.

1. Draw a line and mark some points at equal distance on it as shown in the figure below Mark a point as zero on it. Points in the right of zero are positive integers and are marked simply 1,2,3 and so on, while points to the left of zero are negative integers and are marked -1 -2 -3 and so on
2. Go 4 unit on right sides from zero to show 4
3. Go 3 units on left from zero to show opposite of 3
4. Divide number line between 1 & 2 in 4 Equal parts and go 1 part right of 1
5. Divide number line between 0 & -1 in 2 Equal parts and go 1 part left of 0
