Let's determine the exact locations of the mentioned points on the number line. Here’s how each point translates numerically:
1. Identifying the location of 0.5:
- 0.5 is a point on the number line exactly halfway between 0 and 1.
- Thus, point 0.5 is at 0.5 on the number line.
2. Identifying the location of [tex]\(-\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex]:
- [tex]\(-\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] is equal to -0.5.
- This point is halfway between 0 and -1 on the number line.
- Therefore, point [tex]\(-\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] is at -0.5 on the number line.
3. Identifying the location of -1.4:
- -1.4 is slightly less than -1 and slightly more than -1.5 on the number line.
- This point lies to the left of -1 and closer to -1.5.
- Hence, point -1.4 is at -1.4 on the number line.
4. Identifying the location of 2:
- 2 is exactly at the integer 2.
- This point is right of 1 and left of 3 on the number line.
- Thus, point 2 is at 2 on the number line.
To summarize:
- [tex]\(0.5\)[/tex] is point 0.5.
- [tex]\(-\frac{1}{2}\)[/tex] is point -0.5.
- [tex]\(-1.4\)[/tex] is point -1.4.
- [tex]\(2\)[/tex] is point 2.
