    Straight line with lots of equally spaced dots. Mark the middle dot as 0 and go from there. How far you go depends on high you want to count.

    Number line can also be used to find the absolute value of an integer. Absolute value of an integer is its distance from zero. Absolute value of any number a is denoted as |a|.
