GRE Official Guide Medium Quant (2nd edition) question #14

It’s question 14 on page 154 in the 2nd edition.
This question is easy by itself, but am I just always to assume a number line’s values increase from left to right? I remember one of the PrepSwift videos mentioning that number lines can be in many different formats. I know it’s conventional to read a number line that way, but slightly frustrating when you’re trying to analyze things a little deeper.

It has always been that way though

I’ve become conditioned to always second guess simple problems but this clears it up! Thanks!
