How to Plot Number Lines with Software

Click For Summary
To plot number lines effectively, software options like Wolfram Alpha and Microsoft Word with MathType are recommended for visualizing relative distances between points. Users can create a number line starting from an origin of 0, displaying values such as 5 and 146. These tools allow for clear illustration of data patterns. The discussion highlights the need for user-friendly programs to facilitate such graphing tasks. Overall, Wolfram Alpha and MS Word are noted as suitable solutions for this purpose.

... to visualize relative distances between two points of interest. Do any of the microsoft office applications do this? For example, I would like it to start with an origin of 0 on the left, show the number 5, then show the number 146. I just need a good program for plotting these types of graphs to illustrate data patterns.

Thank you for any assistance.

Thread 'Area of Overlapping Squares'

Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
