A number line with arrows at both ends shows 0 labeled in the middle. Three tick marks are evenly spaced before and after the 0. Points upper A through upper E are plotted from left to right. Points upper A and upper B are to the left of 0 and are plotted in between the second and third tick marks. Point upper A is closer to the second tick mark to the left of zero. Point upper B is closer to the first tick mark to the left of zero. Points upper C through upper E are to the right of 0. Point upper C is in between 0 and the first tick mark. Point upper D is in between the second and third tick marks and and upper E is located after the third tick mark.

The number represented by point B is -1.2 or negative 1.2.
To determine which number is represented by point B, we need to analyze the information given.
According to the description, point B is plotted to the left of 0 and is closer to the first tick mark to the left of zero.
