Question

For the following statement write True (T) or False (F). If the statement is false, correct the statement:

–100 is to the right of –50 on a number line.

Answer 1

False

As we go from left to right on the number line the value of the integer increases.

Also, -50 > -100

($\because$ for negative integers higher the numerical value lesser the value of the integer)

Correct statement: -50 will be to the right of -100 on the number line.
