A integer tells us exactly how many whole units we will move away from 0 along the number line.
Practice makes perfect
To graph the given numbers on a number line, let's first consider their form.
{ 11, -5, -8}
In this case, we are given three integers. An integer tells us exactly how many whole units we will move away from 0 along the number line. Let's consider the first number. Since we have a positive number, we will move to the right 11 whole units.
The remaining two integers are negative numbers. This means we move away the according number of whole units to the left from 0.
