Question

what rule can you write about where the numbers in an inequality with a greater than symbol (>) lie in relation to each other on the vertical number line?what rule can you write about where the numbers in an inequality with a less than symbol (<) lie in relation to each other on the vertical number line?Please help

Answer 1

In a vertical number line, if you have:

`a>b`

a will lie on the right of b, because a is greather than b

[tex]aa wil lie on the left of b, because a is less than b

Answer 2

• p > q — p is above q
• p < q — p is below q

Explanation:

You want to know rules relating positions of numbers on a vertical number line when they are written in an inequality using a greater than (>) or a less than (<) symbol.

Vertical number line

A portion of a vertical number line is shown in the attachment. It is conventionally drawn with numbers increasing toward the top, and decreasing toward the bottom.

Greater than

The relation p > q will be plotted on a vertical number line with p above q.

For example, 6 > -2 has 6 above -2 on the number line.

Less than

The relation p < q will be plotted on a vertical number line with p below q.

For example, -3 < -1 has -3 below -1 on the number line.
