Manuel recorded the daily temperatures for a month as part of a science assignment. The temperature at the beginning of the mont
h was 50°F. At the end of the month, the temperature had increased to 64°F. Manuel wants to check the positions of these temperatures on the vertical number line. Apply what you know about inequalities and the horizontal number line to answer these questions about the vertical number line. Manuel knows that 64 > 50. How are the positions of the numbers 64 and 50 related on the vertical number line?
