Answer:

You have to write the number-line out man. However, the answer is -2

Explanation:

When solving problems like these, knowledge or integers and whole numbers are important. First, find the absolute values of both numbers.

Absolute value of -6: 6

Absolute value of 4: 4

Subtract the values: 6 - 4 = (Positive 2)

THEN, look at the number with the Greater Absolute value. In this case, it is -6. Because -6 has the greater absolute value, your answer should be the connotation of that number. IN THIS CASE, the number with the greater absolute value, -6, has a negative sign. Therefore, your answer should be negative. Your answer is -2.

My attempt at a number line:
