Answer:

Point A

Explanation:

First, you must understand how number lines with negative numbers work. In contrast to those using positive numbers, negative number line numbers increase as you move to the left. The values get lower while moving to the left, but the numbers get "bigger." To find where -8.95 is, you would have to look to the right of -9, since -8.95 is "smaller" than -9. Since -8.95 is just *slightly* different than -9, it will be very close to it on the number line. This makes Point A our answer since it is the closest point to -9.
