To do :

We have to represent $\frac{-5}{4}$ on the number line.

Solution :

1) Draw a number line.

2) As the number $\frac{-5}{4}$ is a negative number so it will be on the left of zero. $\frac{-5}{4}$ can be written in mixed fraction as $-1\frac{1}{4}$. So the number lies between $-1$ and $-2$.
