2. Representation of rational numbers on the number line

A rational number is one that can be written as the ratio of two integers.

Example:

$6 = 12/2$ .

ii)

$9 = 27/3$ .

iii)

$4 = 16/4$ .

A number line is a way to visualize numbers by placing them along a line that shows their relative sizes.

Order to represent the rational number on the number line:

We draw a line and mark a point $O$ on it to represent the rational number $0$ .
The will be represented on the number line to the of $O$ .
The will be represented on the number line to theof $O$ .
If we mark a point $A$ on the line to the right of $O$ to represent $1$ , then $OA =$ $1$ unit.
Similarly, if we choose a point $A'$ on the line to the left of $O$ to represent $-1$ then $OA' =$ $-1$ unit.
