    When you rewrite subtraction using the additive inverse, you add the opposite. That is, - 5 becomes + (-5).

    The appropriate choice is ...

    ... 4 + (-5) A horizontal number line is shown with labels from negative 8 to positive 8. A blue arrow begins at 0 and goes to 4. A red arrow begins at 4 and goes to negative 1.

    The correct option is D) 4 + (-5) A horizontal number line is shown with labels from negative 8 to positive 8. A blue arrow begins at 0 and goes to 4. A red arrow begins at 4 and goes to negative 1.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Consider the provided expression.

    4 - 5

    Rewrite the above expression using the additive inverse.

    Additive inverse is a property: The additive inverse of a number - x is + x.

    By using the above property we can rewrite the provided expression as shown:

    4 + (-5)

    Now to find the location of the number 4 + (-5) on number line, first draw the line as shown:

    Step 1: Draw a horizontal number line is shown with labels from - 8 to 8.

    Step 2: A blue arrow begins at 0 and goes to 4. Which shows the number is positive.

    Step 3: A red arrow begins from 4 and goes 5 unit backward. Which indicate 4 + (-5).

    Step 4: The arrow stops at - 1.

    As 4 + (-5) = 4 - 5 = - 1

    The required number line is shown in figure 1:

    Hence, the correct option is D) 4 + (-5) A horizontal number line is shown with labels from negative 8 to positive 8. A blue arrow begins at 0 and goes to 4. A red arrow begins at 4 and goes to negative 1.
