How to graph the low temperatures on a number line?

The low temperature recorded for several states is graphed on a number line by applying the following method as shown below.

The given table for the low temperature;

AL AK CT NJ VA

--27 -29 -32 -34 -30

From the table given above, we can see that the lowest temperature recorded is - 34 while the highest temperature recorded is - 27.

The number shown in the diagram attached indicates the lowest temperature to the left and the highest temperature recorded to the right.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Please find the attachment.

We have been given a table that shows the record low temperatures for several states. We are asked to graph the temperatures on a number line.

First of all we will draw a number line going to infinity into both directions.

To graph the given temperatures on number line let us arrange temperatures in less negative order.

-34, -32, -30, -29, -27.

Since we know that numbers with large negative values lie on the left at number line. Let us graph our large negative temperature on the left at our number line.

We can see that -34 is the most negative temperature, therefore, it will be on the left most side of our number line.

-27 is greatest of our given negative temperatures. -27 is less negative temperature than our other given low temperatures, therefore, it will lie on the right most side of our number line.

Other temperatures will lie between these two values according to their temperatures.

-32 is second large negative temperature after -34, therefore, it will lie on the right side of -34.

-30 will lie on the right side of -32 and -29 will lie on the right of -32.
