Question

Which gives the correct values for points A, B, C, and D?

Answer 1

The correct answer is: A

Explanation:

Points on a Numeric Line

The numeric line shown in the figure has four points A, B, C, and D. It's clear that each marked division of the line has a value of 1/4 units and all four points are below the reference zero, thus all are negative.

Point A is clearly on the -2 mark, thus

A=-2

Point B is one mark above A, thus it's located at:

`B=-2+(1)/(4)=-(7)/(4)=-1(3)/(4)`

`B=-1(3)/(4)`

Point C is one mark below -1, thus:

`C=-1-(1)/(4)=-1(1)/(4)`

Finally, point D is one mark below 0:

`D=-(1)/(4)`

The correct answer is: A
