Answer 2

The second one.

First of all, all the options involving zero make no sense, since it is not present in the inequality.

Then, the number line has a direction, which is rightwards. This means that the numbers get bigger and bigger as you walk the line to the right.

So, if
`x>y`, it means that
`x` is located to the right of
`y`
