Answer
$-2\frac{7}{8}$
Draw a line and take a point O on it.
Let it represent 0.
Now, From O, take OA, AB, BC on the left of O representing integers -1, -2, -3 respectively,
Divide BC into 8 equal parts and take 7 parts.
Then,
$\text{BP}=\frac{7}{8}$
$\therefore\text{OP}=-\Big(2+\frac{7}{8}\Big)=-2\frac{7}{8}$ as shown on the number line given below,
