Answer 1

The product of 4 and –2 is –8, and on the given number line, this value corresponds to Point A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to identify the point on a number line that represents the product of 4 and –2. The product of a positive number and a negative number is a negative number, according to the rules of multiplication. So, 4 multiplied by –2 equals –8. On the provided number line, point A is at negative 8.

Therefore, the correct answer is Point A, which corresponds to the product of 4 and –2.
