Answer 2

Answer:

The number line is in the attached picture.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the points 10/2 and −9/2.

The point 10/2 can be expressed as:

$\frac{10}{2} =5$

The point -9/2 can be expressed as:

$- \frac{9}{2}= - \frac{8+1}{2}= -(\frac{8}{2} + \frac{1}{2})= -(4 + \frac{1}{2} )=-4\frac{1}{2}$

So for the first point we have to count 5 places from zero to the right.

For the second point, we have to count 4 places and a half from zero to the left.
