C.) On the vertical number line, -[tex] \frac{4}{5} [/tex] is located above [tex] \frac{4}{5} [/tex].
D.) On the vertical number line, 3[tex] \frac{2}{7} [/tex] is located below -2[tex] \frac{3}{7} [/tex]

A. False - 7/2 is more than 5/2 and the number line gets bigger as it goes up so 7/2 is above 5/2

B. True - the numbers get bigger as they go down on the negative side of the number line so -1 1/4 is above -1 3/4

C.) -4/5 is obviously in the bottom, 'cause of the negative sign.

D.) 3 2/7 is in the above 'cause of it's positive sign as compared to the other one

In short, Your Answer would be: Option B
