Answer:

A number line is a visual representation of numbers on a straight line.

Explanation:

On a number line, we typically represent a graph as a set of points that satisfy the equation. In this context, we will consider linear equations as an example. A linear equation in one variable (usually denoted as "x") can be represented as:

  • y = mx + b

Where:

  • y is the value on the y-axis,
  • x is the value on the x-axis,
  • m is the slope of the line, and
  • b is the y-intercept (the value of y when x = 0).

Let's take an example of a linear equation:

  • y = 2x + 1

To graph this equation on a number line, we'll represent the equation as a straight line.

Find the y-intercept (b):

  • When x = 0,
    y = 2(0) + 1 = 1.

So, the y-intercept(b) is 1. Point will be A(0,1)

Find another point on the line:

Choose any value for x, and then calculate the corresponding value of y. For example, let's use x = 2:

y = 2(2) + 1 = 5.

So, another point on the line is B(2, 5).

Plot the points:

Plot the two points we found on the number line:

  • The y-intercept: (0, 1)
  • Another point: (2, 5)

To see the graph. see attachment.
