Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the left of −0.5.

Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the right of −0.5.

No it cannot, because −3.5 lies to the left of −0.5.

No it cannot, because −3.5 lies to the right of −0.5.

Yes it can, because −3.5 lies to the left of −0.5.

Answer: Option A.

Step-by-step explanation:

This option has been chosen because the left of the 0 has been shaded and all the negative values lies on the left of zero. So -3.5 lies to the left of -0.5 and is in the shaded region of the number line.

In a number line, the figure -3.5 lies on the left side compared to the number -0.5 because the higher the value on the negative side of the number line, more left it would be on the number line.
