To determine which number is located at point D, we first need to identify where each of the given numbers is positioned on the number line.

The numbers you've listed are:

  • 0.8
  • -1½ (which is -1.5 or -1.5)
  • -1
  • 2
  • -1.99

Now we can place these on a number line (from left to right):

  • -2 (not in your list, but left of -1.99)
  • -1.99
  • -1.5 (which corresponds to -1½)
  • -1
  • 0
  • 0.8
  • 1
  • 2

Now let's assign each point a letter label as suggested, while also recognizing where point D is on the number line:

  • Point A could correspond to -2
  • Point B could correspond to -1.99
  • Point C (not listed) could correspond to -1.5
  • Point D could correspond to -1
  • Point E could correspond to 0
  • 1 and 2 seem straightforward and could follow naturally after point E

From the alignment, point D corresponds to -1.

Therefore, point D is located at -1.
