To find the number that appears \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the way from 2 to 14 on a number line, we can follow these steps:
1. Determine the distance between the two numbers, 2 and 14.
\[
14 - 2 = 12
\]
2. Calculate \( \frac{1}{4} \) of this distance.
\[
\frac{1}{4} \times 12 = 3
\]
3. Add this distance to the starting number, 2.
\[
2 + 3 = 5
\]
Thus, the number that appears \( \frac{1}{4} \) of the way from 2 to 14 on a number line is:
\[
\boxed{5}
\]
