#-0.5475#, #-0.545#, #-0.5425#

Explanation:

Three equally spaced numbers between #-0.55# and #-0.54# would be:

#-0.5475#, #-0.545#, #-0.5425#

Notice that the length of the interval between #-0.55# and #-0.54# is:

#-0.54 - (-0.55) = 0.01#

So one quarter of that interval is:

#0.01 / 4 = 0.0025#

and the points at the #1/4#, #1/2# and #3/4# marks within that interval are:

#-0.55 + 1 * 0.0025 = -0.5475#

#-0.55 + 2 * 0.0025 = -0.545#

#-0.55 + 3 * 0.0025 = -0.5425#

graph{((x+0.55)^2+y^2-0.0000001)((x+0.5475)^2+y^2-0.0000001)((x+0.545)^2+y^2-0.0000001)((x+0.5425)^2+y^2-0.0000001)((x+0.54)^2+y^2-0.0000001) = 0 [-0.5553, -0.53577, -0.00532, 0.00444]}
