On a horizontal number line with values increasing to the right, where does -4 sit relative to 0?
4 units to the right of 0
4 unit steps to the left of 0, on the negative side✓Respuesta correcta
At the same point as 4, since both lie 4 units from 0
1 unit to the left of 0, because the minus sign counts as one step
Explicación
The minus sign puts a value on the left half of the line and the magnitude says how far along that half it goes, so the mark falls four steps left of zero. Placing it four steps right would put it exactly where 4 belongs and force two different values to share one mark.
