If a > b on the number line, which statement is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a is to the right of b

The governing concept is the geometric interpretation of inequality on a number line. Numbers increase as we move from left to right. Therefore, when a > b, the value of a is greater than the value of b, so the point representing a must lie to the right of the point representing b. For example, if a = 5 and b = 2, the point 5 is to the right of 2. The same idea works for negative numbers: −1 > −4, and −1 is also to the right of −4. Option B reverses the order, option C contradicts the strict inequality by claiming equality, and option D states the opposite spatial relation. Thus option A is the only correct answer.
