3. Positive numbers are greater than 0
Positive numbers are greater than 0. They may be written with a positive sign (+), but they are usually written without it.
Negative numbers are less than 0. They are always written with a negative sign (–).

4. Additional Example 1: Identifying Positive and Negative Numbers in the Real World
Name a positive or negative number to represent each situation.
A. a jet climbing to an altitude of 20,000 feet
B. taking $15 out of the bank
Positive numbers can represent climbing or rising.
+20,000
Negative numbers can represent taking out or withdrawing.
–15

5. Additional Example 1: Identifying Positive and Negative Numbers in the Real World

C. 7 degrees below zero
Negative numbers can represent values below or less than a certain value. –7

6. Check It Out: Example 1
Name a positive or negative number to represent each situation.
A. 300 feet below sea level
B. a hiker hiking to an altitude of 4,000 feet
Negative numbers can represent values below or less than a certain value.
–300
Positive numbers can represent climbing or rising.
+4,000

7. Check It Out: Example 1
Name a positive or negative number to represent each situation.
C. spending $34
Negative numbers can represent losses or decreases.
–34

8. You can graph positive and negative numbers on a number line.
On a number line, opposites are the same distance from 0 but on different sides of 0.
Integers are the set of all whole numbers and their opposites.
Opposites
–5 –4 –3 –2 –
Negative Integers
Positive Integers
0 is neither negative nor positive.

9. The set of whole numbers includes zero and the counting numbers.
{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …}
Remember!

10. Additional Example 2: Graphing Integers
Graph each integer and its opposite on a number line.
A. +2
–2 is the same distance from 0 as +2.
–5 –4 –3 –2 –
B. –5
+5 is the same distance from 0 as –5.
–5 –4 –3 –2 –

11. Additional Example 2: Graphing Integers
Graph each integer and its opposite on a number line.
C. +1
–1 is the same distance from 0 as +1.
–5 –4 –3 –2 –

12. Graph each integer and its opposite on a number line.
Check It Out: Example 2
Graph each integer and its opposite on a number line.
A. +3
–3 is the same distance from 0 as +3.
–5 –4 –3 –2 –
B. –4
+4 is the same distance from 0 as –4.
–5 –4 –3 –2 –

13. Graph each integer and its opposite on a number line.

5. When the Swanton Bulldogs football team passed the football, they gained 25 yards. Write an integer to represent this situation.
+15
–12 6
+25

16. –2 is to the left of 1 on the number line.
Check It Out: Example 1
Use the number line to compare each pair of integers. Write < or >.
A. –
B –3
C. –3 –4
–5 –4 –3 –2 –
–2 < 1
–2 is to the left of 1 on the number line.
2 > –3
2 is to the right of –3 on the number line.
–3 > –4
–3 is to the right of –4 on the number line.

17. Additional Example 2: Ordering Integers
Order the integers in each set from least to greatest.
A. –2, 3, –1
B. 4, –3, –5, 2
Graph the integers on the same number line.
–3 –2 –
Then read the numbers from left to right: –2, –1, 3.
Graph the integers on the same number line.
–6 –5 –4 –3 –2 –
Then read the numbers from left to right: –5, –3, 2, 4.
