Answer 1

Answer: - 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The point R is - 2.5,

The numbers on the number line are arranged sequentially and in regular increment of 1 with only the integer numbers being displayed and ticked. The point R sits directly in between - 3 and - 2. Therefore, to accurately obtain the position of the blue dot, we take the average of both positions binding the blue dot. That is - 3 and - 2

Average = ( - 3 + - 2) / 2

Average = - 5 / 2 = - 2.5
