Question

answer the parts below.
(a) plot 11 and -9 on the number line below.

(b) choose the correct statement.
11 is located to the left of -9,
11 is located to the right of -9.
(c) use <, >, or = to complete the statement.
11 -9

Explanation:

Part (a)

To plot 11 and -9 on the number line:

• For -9: Locate the position 9 units to the left of 0 (since it's negative). The number line has marks, and -9 should be plotted between -10 and 0, closer to -10? Wait, no, the number line has -10, -5, 0, 5, 10. So each major tick is 5 units apart, with minor ticks? Wait, from -10 to 0, there are 10 minor ticks? Wait, maybe each minor tick is 1 unit. So -9 is 1 unit to the right of -10. 11 is 1 unit to the right of 10. So plot -9 at the 9th unit to the right of -10 (which is -9), and 11 at the 1st unit to the right of 10.

Part (b)

On a number line, numbers to the right are greater. 11 is a positive number, -9 is negative. Positive numbers are to the right of negative numbers. So 11 is to the right of -9.

Since 11 is to the right of -9 on the number line, it is greater than -9. So we use the '>' symbol.

Answer:

11 is located to the right of -9.
