The inequality \(-2 < 1\) indicates that \(-2\) is located to the left of \(1\) on a number line.
In terms of relative position:
- The number line increases in value as you move from left to right.
- Since \(-2\) is less than \(1\), it means \(-2\) is further to the left compared to \(1\).
Therefore, you can visualize it like this: if you were to plot both numbers on a number line, \(-2\) would be positioned to the left of \(1\), which shows that \(-2\) is indeed less than \(1\).
