Answer 2

-1.75

Explanation:

Point A is in between - 1 and -2

This interval is split in 4 equal parts and has 3 marker points.

Point A is on the bottom marker point, which indicates:

• -1 * 3/4 = - 3/4 = - 0.75

Since it is below -1, we add up - 1 and - 0.75:

• - 1 + (-0.75) = - 1.75

Point A represents: -1.75 on the number line
