Draw a number line and mark a point O on it, representing the integer 0. Mark the integers to the right (1, 2, 3) and to the left (-1, -2, -3).
Convert each of the given improper fractions into a mixed fraction to find the two integers between which it lies.
So, lies between 2 and 3, and lies between -2 and -3.
Divide the unit length between 2 and 3, as well as the unit length between -2 and -3, into 5 equal segments by making 4 equally spaced marks in each interval.
For : Starting from the integer 2, count forward (to the right) 3 segments. Label this specific position as point A, representing i.e. .
For : Starting from the integer -2, count backward (to the left) 3 segments. Label this specific position as point B, representing i.e. , as shown below :

Hence, the points A and B on the number line represent .
