Understanding Inequalities with Integers

The video tutorial explains how to compare integers using inequality symbols such as less than and greater than. It demonstrates the use of a number line to determine which value is lesser or greater. The tutorial includes examples comparing pairs of integers: 8 and -4, -3 and 5, and 0 and -4, highlighting how the inequality symbols point towards the lesser value and open towards the greater value.

What does the inequality symbol point towards when comparing two values?

• The greater value

• The lesser value

• The middle value

• The equal value

When comparing 8 and -4, which statement is true?

• 8 is greater than -4

• -4 is equal to 8

• 8 is less than -4

• -4 is less than 8

On a number line, where does the lesser value appear?

• Above the line

• In the middle

• On the left

• On the right

Which of the following is true when comparing -3 and 5?

• -3 is less than 5

• -3 is equal to 5

• 5 is less than -3

• -3 is greater than 5

What is always true about negative and positive values?

• Negative values are greater than positive values

• Negative values are less than positive values

• Negative values are equal to positive values

• Negative values are not comparable to positive values

When comparing 0 and -4, which statement is correct?

• 0 is less than -4

• 0 is greater than -4

• -4 is greater than 0

• 0 is equal to -4

On a number line, where does zero typically appear?

• On the far left

• In the center

• Above the line

• On the far right

Which of the following is true when reading inequalities from right to left?

• The inequality symbol flips direction

• The inequality becomes an equation

• The inequality remains the same

• The values switch places

What does the open side of the inequality symbol indicate?

• The lesser value

• The equal value

• The middle value

• The greater value

How can plotting on a number line help in comparing values?

• It shows the values in alphabetical order

• It visually represents the relative positions of values

• It makes the values equal

• It hides the values
