Question

In the following pair of integers, which number is to the right of the other on the number line?

–3, –8

Answer 1

As per the question we have to find which number is on the right of the other number on the number line for the numbers -3, -8.

We know that, as we go from left to right on the number line the value increases. So, the greater number will be on the right.

-3 > -8

($\because$ For negative integers greater the numerical value of the number, lower will be its value)

$\therefore$ -3 is to the right of -8 on the number line.
