Each mark on the line is one unit. 0 is the starting point. For a positive number, move one unit at a time for the number you have. For example, to graph 2, start at 0 and move to the right 2 units. Just make a dot there and write 2 above it. For negative numbers, you go to the left. So start at 0, and go one to the left and that’s -1. Go one more to the left and that’s -2.
