Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Understand the number.

    The number to be represented is −47-\frac{4}{7}. This is a negative rational number. Since 0<47<10 < \frac{4}{7} < 1, the number −47-\frac{4}{7} lies between −1-1 and 0 on the number line.

  2. Draw a number line and mark the integers.

    Draw a straight line and mark the integers 0 and −1-1.

  3. Divide the segment between 0 and −1-1.

    Since the denominator of the fraction is 7, divide the segment between 0 and −1-1 into 7 equal parts. Each part represents 17\frac{1}{7}.

  4. Locate −47-\frac{4}{7}.

    Starting from 0, move 4 divisions to the left. The point at the 4th4^{th} division to the left of 0 represents −47-\frac{4}{7}.

    Here is the representation:

    \boxed{ \text{ \begin{tikzpicture} \draw[<->] (-2.5,0) -- (0.5,0); \foreach \x in {-2,-1,0} \draw (\x,0.1) -- (\x,-0.1) node[below] {$\x$}; \foreach \x in {0,-0.1428,-0.2857,-0.4285,-0.5714,-0.7142,-0.8571,-1} \draw (\x,0.05) -- (\x,-0.05); \node[above] at (-0.5714, 0.2) {$-\frac{4}{7}$}; \filldraw[black] (-0.5714,0) circle (2pt); \end{tikzpicture} } }
