Question

If p and q are picked out of the number line, where p is lying to the right of q, then,

• A. p > q
• B. p = q
• C. p < q

Answer 1

The correct option is A p > q

All numbers on the number line to the left of a reference point are smaller than the number on the reference point.
Similarly, all numbers on the number line to the right of a reference point are greater than the number on the reference point.
