Selina Sherman · Answer 1

Numbers get larger as you move right and smaller as you move left along the line. This means that: any number is greater than any number to its left. any number is less than any number to its right.

Melody Buck · Answer 2

-45 is 55 units above - 100,

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the numbers ascend from left to right.

So - 100 + 55 = - 45.
