Question 151648

Start with a blank number line


{{{number_line( 500, -10, 10)}}}




Now plot the values -6 and 4 on the number line


{{{number_line( 500, -10, 10, -6,4)}}}



Since -6 is less than 4 (or -6 is to the left of 4 on the number line), this means that 


-6 < 4



You can reverse everything (including the sign) to get


4 > -6
