For this case we have the following definition:
The additive inverse of a number is the opposite of that number, that is, the additive inverse of a number x is - x. The sum of a number and its additive inverse is equal to zero.
We have then:

1.4 + k = 0
From here, we clear the value of k.

k = -1.4
Then, we place the values on the number line.
