Answer 1

Answer: I got it wrong but here's the right answer

Answer 2

The location of given points are shown in the below figure.

Explanation:

We need to plot the points
`-5(2)/(3)` and
`5(1)/(3)` on the number line.

Draw a line from -6 to 6 and interval is 1/3. It means mark 2 points between all two consecutive integers.

The number
`-5(2)/(3)` lies between -6 and -5. Here the sign is negative and the fraction value is 2/3, so the point lies on 2 units left from -5.

The number
`5(1)/(3)` lies between 5 and 6. Here the sign is positive and the fraction value is 1/3, so the point lies on 1 units right from 5.

The number is shown below.
