Explanation:

The fraction -5/4 converts to -1.25 after using your calculator or long division. It represents the mixed number -1 & 1/4. So we go 1 full unit to the left to arrive at -1, then we move another 1/4 unit to the left to get to point A. That's why point A is located at -5/4 = -1.25 = -1 & 1/4.

Point B is directly midway between 0 and -1, so it must be at -0.5; you can use the midpoint formula.
