4, Draw a straight line. Mark a point O on this line and name it 0 (zero).
On the right side of O, mark points A, B, C, D, E, ..... on the line drawn such that the
distance between consecutive points is the same.
ie. OA=AB=BC=CD-......
3. Inthe same way, on the same line mark points A’, B’, C’, D’, etc. on the left side of O
such that
OA’ = A’B’ = BC’
On the whole, we must have ;
B‘C’ = A’B’ = OA’ = OA = AB = BC = CD =
The points A, B, C, D, E, , which are on the right side of zero (0), represent positive
integers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and the points A’, B’, C’, D’, E’, which are on the left
side of zero, represent negative integers -1, -2, -3, —4,

Clearly, A represents 1, B represents 2 and C represents 3.
In the same way, A’ represents -1, B’ represents = ~—2 and C’ represents -3.
‘Since denominator of each given rational number is 2, mark middle points of each of OA,
