It probably is: 710.0

I disagree. "710." is OK but, as pedantic purist I am not comfortable about adding the 0 after it. Although they have the same value, that extra zero implies that the number is accurate to 1 the nearest tenths (one decimal place) and that implication is not justified.

A decimal number is simply a way of representing a number in such a way that the place value of each digit is ten times that of the digit to its right. A decimal representation does not require a decimal point. So the required decimal representation is -710, exactly as in the question.
