Use the image to answer the question.

A number line with arrows at both ends shows 0 labeled in the middle. Three tick marks are evenly spaced before and after the 0. Points upper A through upper E are plotted from left to right. Points upper A and upper B are to the left of 0 and are plotted in between the second and third tick marks. Point upper A is closer to the second tick mark to the left of zero. Point upper B is closer to the first tick mark to the left of zero. Points upper C through upper E are to the right of 0. Point upper C is in between 0 and the first tick mark. Point upper D is in between the second and third tick marks and and upper E is located after the third tick mark.

To determine which number is represented by point B on the number line, we can analyze the position of point B relative to the tick marks and zero.

From your description:

  • Point A is between the second and third tick marks to the left of zero, and it is closer to the second tick mark (which we can estimate as approximately -1.8).
  • Point B is also between the second and third tick marks to the left of zero but is closer to the first tick mark (which we can estimate as approximately -1.2).

Considering the numbers shown:

  • −1.8 could represent point A.
  • −1.2 could represent point B.

Thus, based on this analysis, point B is represented by −1.2.

is that correct answer plz be

Yes, based on the description you provided, the correct answer for the number represented by point B is indeed −1.2.

Here's a quick recap:

  • Point A is closer to the second tick mark to the left of zero, which might represent approximately −1.8.
  • Point B, being closer to the first tick mark to the left of zero, would represent approximately −1.2.

So, the answer for point B is −1.2.
