Answer:

True

Explanation:

What is a vertical number line?

A vertical number line is line that runs vertically, or up and down. Starting from 0, it has positive numbers moving up and negative numbers moving down.

Based on what we know, positive numbers move up on a vertical number line and move to the right on a horizontal number line. Negative numbers move down on a vertical number line and to the left on a horizontal number line.

So, because 14 is negative, and it's on a vertical number line, it would be below any positive number such as 7.

In short, the answer is true because negative numbers are below or behind positive numbers.
