Answer: - 2.5
Explanation:
Using the attached number line has reference, the distance between each integer on the number line attached is 1, and the numbers are ordered in ascending order from - 10 to + 10. The point R exists in between the point marked - 2 and - 3 respectively. This shows that that point R is a number between the two integers, a number greater than - 3 but less than - 2.
From the picture attached the blue dot sits directly at the midpoint between - 3 and - 2. Hence the position can be a obtained by averaging the two integers.
(-3 + - 2) / 2 = - 5/2 = - 2.5
