Question

Which of the following numbers is to the right of -3 on number line?

-8
-4
-1
-6​

Answer 1

(- 1)

(- 1) is to the right of (- 3) on number line.

Explanation:

Refer to the given attachment to see the required number line in order to understand this solution clearly.

• You can see 0 in the middle and numbers left to 0 are - 1, - 2, - 3, - 4, - 5, - 6, - 7, - 8, and so on.

• Similarly the numbers to the right of 0 are + 1, + 2 and so on.

• However it is clear that (- 8), (- 6) and (- 4) lie on the left of (- 3) and the only number that lies on the right of (- 3) is (- 1).

• This happens because: (- 3) < (- 1).
