Let's analyze the given points to identify which one is incorrectly placed on the number line.

The table provides the following points with their corresponding values:

- Point A: \(\frac{-27}{3} = -9\)
- Point B: \(\frac{-11}{2} = -5.5\)
- Point C: \(\frac{9}{2} = 4.5\)
- Point D: \(\frac{21}{3} = 7\)

Now, let's examine their placements on the number line:

- **Point A** should be at \(-9\), and it is correctly placed on the number line.
- **Point B** should be at \(-5.5\), and it is placed between \(-5\) and \(-6\), which is correct.
- **Point C** should be at \(4.5\), but it is placed at \(5\) on the number line, which is incorrect.
- **Point D** should be at \(7\), and it is correctly placed on the number line.

Therefore, **Point C** is incorrectly placed.
