Question

Graph the numbers on a number line. Then write the numbers in increasing order. $$2,3,-4$$

Short answer

The numbers in increasing order are \(-4, 2, 3\).

Step-by-step solution

Graph the numbers

The numbers in the list are \(2,3,-4\). Draw a number line and mark these three numbers. Negative numbers are to the left of zero on the number line and positive numbers are to the right. So, start from the center of the line with zero, mark -4 to the left of zero, and 2 and 3 to the right.

Order the numbers

The numbers are now graphed, and their positions indicate their relative values. The most left number is the smallest while the most right one is the biggest. In this case, from left to right, we have \(-4, 2, 3\). So, the order of these numbers in increasing form is \(-4, 2, 3\).
