Answer 1

It looks like the questions is asking you to make a number line with the numbers given.

To make a number line with all your points all of the positive numbers go to the RIGHT of zero and the negative numbers to the LEFT of zero.

The Numbers in the question: -6, -5, -4, -3, -2

Your Number line Graph will look something like this:

-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

The next part of the question wants you to find if -3 is greater than [>] or less than [<} -6.

To answer, you need to look at the number line and find which numbers is closer to 0.

***This only works for comparing negative numbers.***

-6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6

ANSWER: Looking at our number line we can see that -3 is closer to 0.

That means that -3 > -6.
