Question

Mark the integer ‘$-13$’ on number line.

Answer 1

Step 1: Draw a line and mark some points on it at equal distances as shown in the figure. Mark a point as ‘$0$’ on it.Points right to the ‘$0$’ are positive integers and are marked $1,2,3$ etc., and points left to the ‘$0$’ are negative integers and are marked $-1,-2,-3$ etc.

Step 2: In order to mark ‘$-13$’ on it, move ‘$13$’ points to the left of ‘$0$’

Therefore, the integer shown in figure is ‘$-13$’.
