Lucinda and Marco compare 4 and -2. Lucinda claims that 4 is to the right of -2 on the number line, and so 4 > -2. Marco claims that 4 is to the left of -2 on a number line, so 4 < -2. Who is incorrect and what is the error? Lucinda is incorrect. Because 4 is to the right of -2 on a number line, the inequality should be 4 < -2. Marco is incorrect. Because 4 is to the left of -2 on a number line, the inequality should be 4 > -2. Marco is incorrect. On a number line, 4 is not to the left of -2. Lucinda is incorrect. On a number line, 4 is not to the right of -2.
