Ex.6.1 Q.4
Adjacent figure is a vertical number line, representing integers.
Observe it and locate the following points:
(a) If point D is +8 then which point is –8?
(b)Is point G a negative integer or a positive integer?
(c) Write integers for points B and E.
(d) Which point marked on this number line has the least value?
(e) Arrange all the points in decreasing order of values.
If we write all the numbers on the number line, then we get
(a) If point D is +8 then the point F is –8
(b) Point G a negative integer as shown in the above figure.
(c) The point B is 4 and point E is -10.
(d) Point E marked on this number line has the least value?
(e) From the picture, we find that
Point E is -10, Point F is -8, Point G is -6, Point H is -2,
Point O is 0, Point A is 2, Point B is 4, Point C is 5 and Point D is 8.
Now the descending order is:
D, C, B, A, O, H, G, F, E
