To identify the location of each point on the number line:
-
0.5 falls between 0 (C) and 1 (D). Therefore, 0.5 is point D.
-
−12 is much less than −2 (A), so −12 is point A.
-
−1.4 falls between −2 (A) and −1 (B). Therefore, −1.4 is point B.
-
2 is exactly at 2 (E). Therefore, 2 is point E.
So, the answers are as follows:
- 0.5 is point D.
- −12 is point A.
- −1.4 is point B.
- 2 is point E.
