How to Plot Number Lines with Software

In summary, to plot a number line using software, you will need to choose a program with a number line graphing feature, input data and labels, and generate the graph. Popular options for software include Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, and GeoGebra. No special skills are required, but basic computer skills may be helpful. Customization of the appearance of the number line is usually possible, and multiple number lines can be plotted on one graph.

... 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.
