Plot the numbers on a line and determine the relationship between the numbers.

-2 and -6

1 answer

To plot the numbers -2 and -6 on a line, you can use a number line where you mark the positions of the numbers.

First, mark the position for -2. Since -2 is a negative number, it will be to the left of zero. Place a point on the line to represent -2.

Next, mark the position for -6. Similarly, since -6 is also a negative number, it will be to the left of zero but further to the left compared to -2. Place another point on the line to represent -6.

The number line would look something like this:

-6 -2 0

From the number line, you can observe that -6 is located to the left of -2. Thus, the relationship between -6 and -2 is that -6 is less than -2.
