Write the numbers in increasing order from left to right. \( 9,7,-9,-1,-5,-6,1,4 \) The order is \( \square, \square, \square, \square, \square, \square, \square, \square \). (Use ascending order.)

We need to arrange the numbers in ascending (increasing) order. The given numbers are: 9, 7, -9, -1, -5, -6, 1, 4. First, we identify the smallest number, which is -9, and then continue in order: 1. -9 2. -6 3. -5 4. -1 5. 1 6. 4 7. 7 8. 9 Thus, the numbers in increasing order are: -9, -6, -5, -1, 1, 4, 7, 9
