Subtraction on number line:

The subtraction of integer can be represented using the number line figure. Now let's see how it is.

Now we are going to subtract the two number which is

$7$ and

$5$ in a number line.

We can find this using the following steps:

1. Start from

$7$ , since

$5$ is being subtracted, so move

$5$ jumps towards the left side of the number line with

$1$ jump of

$1$ unit.

2. Then we reach the point

$2$ .

Therefore we get

$7 – 5 = 2$ .

Therefore using this method we can do the subtraction in a number line.
