Answer:

negative 4 over 7 is located to the right of −2

Explanation:

-4/7 > - 2

On a number line, numbers are arranged in ascending order (lowest to smallest) the number at the tail end to the left of the numbwr line will be the least number represented by the number line and the highest will be located at the end of the right side of the number line.

Therefore, if it is represented that -4/7 > - 2

Then counting from the left ; - 2 comes before - 4/7

Hence, - 4/7 is located to the right of −2
