Answer:

-2 3/8

Explanation:

since point A is left of 0, it means it is a negative value.

so, the positive answer options are automatically out.

then we see that point A is 2 full units and a little bit left of 0.

that means it has to be lower than -2 but higher than -3.

-22/7 = -3 1/7

so, that is too low.

-3 7/8 is too low.

so, that leaves -2 3/8 (confirmed also by the fact that A is a little bit higher than half between -2 and -3, which is the case for -2 3/8).
