1. First, convert the fractions to decimals (approximately) to understand their positions:
   - $$ -\frac{5}{6} \approx -0.8333 $$
   - $$ \frac{13}{6} \approx 2.1667 $$

2. Notice that:
   - $$ -\frac{5}{6} $$ lies between $$-1$$ and $$0$$, closer to $$-1$$.
   - $$ \frac{13}{6} $$ lies between $$2$$ and $$3$$, closer to $$2$$.

3. To plot these on a number line, follow these steps:
   - Draw a horizontal line.
   - Mark the integers, for example, $$-2$$, $$-1$$, $$0$$, $$1$$, $$2$$, $$3$$.
   - Identify the position of $$ -\frac{5}{6} $$ between $$-1$$ and $$0$$.
   - Identify the position of $$ \frac{13}{6} $$ between $$2$$ and $$3$$.

4. A simple representation of the number line is shown below:

$$
\begin{array}{ccccccccccc}
 & -2 & & -1 & & 0 & & 1 & & 2 & & 3 \
 & \quad & \quad & \bullet & \quad & \quad & \quad & \quad & \quad & \bullet & \quad \
 & \quad & \quad & -\frac{5}{6} & \quad & \quad & \quad & \quad & \quad & \frac{13}{6} & \quad \
\end{array}
$$

5. In this diagram:
   - The bullet at $$-\frac{5}{6}$$ is placed between $$-1$$ and $$0$$.
   - The bullet at $$\frac{13}{6}$$ is placed between $$2$$ and $$3$$.

This completes the plot of the numbers on the number line.
Plot $$ -\frac{5}{6} $$ between $$-1$$ and $$0$$ and $$ \frac{13}{6} $$ between $$2$$ and $$3$$ on the number line.

Plot the numbers \( -\frac{5}{6} \) and \( \frac{13}{6} \) on the number line below.
