Question

Which phrase correctly describes the location of –34 on the number line? to the right of –19 to the right of 15 to the left of –28 to the left of –63

Answer 1

The 3rd statement correctly describes the location of - 34.

Explanation:

We know that if we plot x and y two different numbers on the number line and if x > y then x will be on the right side of y on the line.

Now, since, - 34 < - 19, so - 34 will be to the left of - 19.

Since, - 34 < 15, so - 34 will be to the left of 15

Since - 34 < - 28, so - 34 will be to the left of - 28

And since - 34 > - 63, so - 34 will be to the right of - 63.

Therefore, the 3rd statement correctly describes the location of - 34. (Answer)
