Answer:

-0.5 is to the right of -34 on the number line.

Explanation:

If we were talking in terms of positive numbers, 0.5 would be to the left of 34, since 0.5 is closer to 0 on the number line. When we talk about negative numbers, everything is mirrored: numbers decrease as we go further left of 0, and increase as we go right towards 0.
