Represent the following rational number on the number line :

$\dfrac{23}{-5}$

$\dfrac{23}{-5}$

First convert to a mixed fraction to see which integers they fall between.

$\dfrac{23}{-5} = -4\dfrac{3}{5}$

This lies between -4 and -5. Draw a number line and mark 0, on the left side of 0, mark the points -1, -2, -3, -4, -5. Divide the space between -4 and -5 into 5 equal parts. The 3rd mark to the left of -4 is P, which represents $-\dfrac{23}{5}$.
