To determine which rational number could be graphed between -4 and -5, we need to identify numbers that are less than -4 and greater than -5.
- The option **-5.5** is less than -5 and therefore not between -4 and -5.
- The option **-4.25** is greater than -5 and less than -4, so it is a valid choice.
- The option **\(\frac{4}{5}\)** (which is 0.8) is a positive number and thus not between -4 and -5.
- The option **4.5** is also positive and not between -4 and -5.
The only correct option that can be graphed between -4 and -5 is **-4.25**.
