Question

Assuming the lines are evenly spaced between the integers, what number, in decimal notation, is represented by the plotted point?

Answer 1

-1.4

Explanation:

There are five increments between -2 and -1, so we find the difference between -2 and -1, which is 1. Divide 1 by five (increments)=.2

This means that every increment is worth 0.2.

If we see it from the left to right, from -2, there are 3 increments to the right, so multiply three by 0.2 which is 0.6, add 0.6 to -2, which is -1.4.

Hope this helps!
