Answer:

We would plot this point at 4.5 on the number line

Explanation:

In order to do this, we need to know that the absolute value of a value is the how far it is from the 0 on the number line, this is exactly why absolute value can only be positive. Let me show you and example using your question. If we were to label points 4.5 and 0 on the number line and calculate the space between them (in units), we would get 4.5 Now that we know that absolute value of -4.5 is 4.5 we can now plot the point on the number line

-5. -4. -3. -2. -1. 0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

I think thats it

it took me forever sorry if im wrong but I think the absolute value is the space away from 0 so it would be 4.5 probably didn't have to do all that but whatever
