Lesson 08: Position, Speed, and Direction | Unit 5: Rational Number Arithmetic

A number line can represent positions that are north and south of a truck stop on a highway. Decide whether you want positive positions to be north or south of the truck stop. Then plot the following positions on a number line: 1. The truck stop 2. 5 miles north of the truck stop 3. 3.5 miles south of the truck stop. Use the image of a number line to annotate and plot these positions.

Four people are cycling. They each start at the same point. (0 represents their starting point.) Plot their finish points after 5 seconds of cycling on a number line. - Lin cycles at 5 meters per second. - Diego cycles at -4 meters per second. - Elena cycles at 3 meters per second. - Noah cycles at -6 meters per second.

The markings on the number line are evenly spaced. Label the other markings on the number line.

The markings on the number line are evenly spaced. Label the other markings on the number line.

The markings on the number line are equally spaced. Label the other markings on the number line.
