Answer:

Point Q

Explanation:

-2/3 is a negative number so you go to the left on a number line.

That means the answer has to be Point P or Q

The number line goes in intervals of 1/3's so if you count from 0 to the left, you can count to the 2nd line that Q is on.

That is a negative number and 2/3.

P would be -1 and 2/3's meaning its wrong.
