Final answer:

To plot the points based on the given description, the points -2, 2, 0, and -4 can be plotted on the number line.

Step-by-step explanation:

To plot the points based on the given description, we need to understand how absolute value works. The absolute value of a number is the distance between that number and zero on a number line. It is always positive. So, the absolute value of -2 is 2. To plot this point, we go 2 units to the left of zero on the number line. So, the point -2 is plotted to the left of zero.

Similarly, to plot the points 2 and 0, we go 2 units to the right of zero and plot the point 2. For the point 0, we simply plot it at zero on the number line.

Lastly, to plot the point -4, we go 4 units to the left of zero and plot the point -4 on the number line.
