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 negative number, we will move to the left 5 whole units.
The remaining integers are also negative, except for one. 10 is a positive number. This means we move 10 whole units away to the right from 0.
