Sure, let's break down this question step-by-step:
1. Identify Lynn's house elevation:
Lynn's house has an elevation of -4 feet, which indicates it is 4 feet below sea level.
2. Determine if the number is positive or negative:
-4 is a negative number.
3. Determine the position relative to zero:
Since -4 is negative, it is to the left of 0 on the number line.
4. Plot and label the point on the number line:
To properly plot the elevation of Lynn's house on the number line, mark a point at -4. Label this point as "L".
So, to summarize:
- Is the number positive or negative?
The number -4 is negative.
- Is it to the right or the left of 0?
The number -4 is to the left of 0.
- Plot and label the point L on the number line:
Draw a number line and place a point at -4. Label this point as "L".
Here's a visualization of where "L" would be on the number line:
```
5 4 3 2 1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5
L
```
So, Lynn's house is at -4 on the number line.
