I assume you know how to draw the number line.

You show no numbers, but surely you can place them in the appropriate places...

To locate and label the points representing the rational numbers on the number line, you need to understand what a rational number is and how to identify it.

Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed as a fraction or ratio of two integers, where the denominator is not equal to zero. In other words, rational numbers can be written in the form of a/b, where a and b are integers and b is not equal to zero.

Using this definition, let's say that the rational numbers listed in part (a) are represented as fraction form: 1/2, -3/4, and 2/5.

To label these points on the number line, follow these steps:

1. Identify the starting point on the number line. According to the problem, the starting point is represented by zero, which represents Isaac's balance before the mistake was made.

2. Locate the first rational number, which is 1/2. To do this, divide the number line between zero and the positive side of the number line into equal intervals (segments). Since 1/2 is positive, locate the point exactly halfway between 0 and the positive side of the number line. Label this point as 1/2.

3. Locate the second rational number, which is -3/4. To do this, divide the number line between zero and the negative side of the number line into equal intervals (segments). Since -3/4 is negative, locate the point exactly three-fourths of the way between 0 and the negative side of the number line. Label this point as -3/4.

4. Locate the third rational number, which is 2/5. To do this, divide the positive side of the number line into equal intervals (segments). Locate the point exactly two-fifths of the way between 0 and the positive side of the number line. Label this point as 2/5.

After following these steps, you should have located and labeled the points representing the given rational numbers on the number line. The relationship between these numbers is that they are all fractions or ratios of integers and can be expressed in the form of a/b.
