A number line can be thought as a pictoral representation of the integers; it is typically represented as a line with tick marks, where each tick mark represents an integer, in order. Often, the number line has the the integer zero in the middle, and positive numbers to the right and negative numbers to the left. Conceptually, the number line continues indefinitely. Adding a perpendicular axis may be used to represent imaginary numbers.
