How to graph a number line with writings on top?

Question

here is the image which i want to put in LaTeX.

I want to be able to draw the portion in yellow with tikz.
Please help.
Here's the MWE, which is not at all okay:
usepackage{pgfplots}
begin{document}
    begin{tikzpicture}
        begin{axis}[
            axis x line=middle,
            axis y line=none,
            height=50pt,
            width=axisdefaultwidth,
            xmin=-10,
            xmax=10,
            ]
            addplot coordinates {(0,0) (5,0)};
        end{axis}
    end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

Your MWE is not complete nor even close to desired image. You need to make yourself more familiar with tikz and pgfplots. Try to read their documentation (ad list inztroductionary chapters and sections), also see TeXample and pgfplots examples.
for this image is simpler to use tikz package:

documentclass[tikz, margin=3.14159]{standalone}
usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta,
                quotes}

begin{document}
    begin{tikzpicture}
draw[Straight Barb-Straight Barb]
    (0,0) to ["$x=-1$"] ++ (3,0) coordinate (a) 
          to ["$x=1$"]  ++ (2,0) coordinate (b)
          to ["$x=6$"]  ++ (3,0);
foreach x in {a,b}
    draw (a) ++ (0,1mm) -- ++ (0,-2mm)  node[below] {0}
          (b) ++ (0,1mm) -- ++ (0,-2mm)  node[below] {5};          
    end{tikzpicture}
end{document}

BTW, meaning/intention of this image is quite unclear ...
