Answer: 4

Step-by-step explanation: It's important to understand what absolute value really means and that is the absolute value of a number represents that numbers distance from zero on a number line.

The absolute value of -4 is 4. The reason the absolute value of -4 is 4 is that if we graph -4 down here on the number line, you can see that its distance from zero is 4 units.

I have attached a number line below showing the absolute value of -4
