Answer:
-2 3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
since point A is left of 0, it means it is a negative value.
so, the positive answer options are automatically out.
then we see that point A is 2 full units and a little bit left of 0.
that means it has to be lower than -2 but higher than -3.
-22/7 = -3 1/7
so, that is too low.
-3 7/8 is too low.
so, that leaves -2 3/8 (confirmed also by the fact that A is a little bit higher than half between -2 and -3, which is the case for -2 3/8).
