Solution

Rational numbers on number line:
The numbers which can be expressed as a fraction $\frac{p}{q}$ where both $p$ and $q$ are integers with $q \neq 0$ , are known as rational numbers.
A rational number $\frac{p}{q}$ can be uniquely represented as single point on number line
Therefore, every rational number is represented by one and only one point on the number line.
