NUMBER LINE FOR WHOLE NUMBERS

How to draw a number line?
        

#     First draw a line


#    Mark a point on it. Label this point as 0.

#  Mark a point on the right of this point and label it as 1. The distance between 0 and 1 is called unit distance.


#   Mark another point to the right of 1 keeping the same distance as between 0 and 1 that is at unit distance. Label it as 2. 


#    In this way we can label other points 3, 4, 5, 6 and so on in this manner.

#      This is called a number line of whole numbers
