To determine how many points Precious had at the end of the game, we can start by representing her initial score on the number line.
Since she had "negative 2 points" at the beginning, we can mark this on the number line as follows:
-4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
Now, we need to determine the points she gained or lost in each trial.
In the first trial, Precious lost the game, resulting in a loss of 2 points. Therefore, we can move two points to the left on the number line:
-2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
In the second trial, she lost again, resulting in a loss of 2 more points. Thus, we can move two points to the left from her previous position:
-4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
Lastly, in the third trial, she won the game, gaining 5 points. Therefore, we can move five points to the right on the number line:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Hence, at the end of the game, Precious had a total of 10 points.
In a game of numbers you lose two points when you lose the game and earn five points when you will precious had negative 2 points having lost in the first trial she lost in the second trial and one in the that trial use a number line to determine how many points she had at the end of the game
