Answer: 4 + (−5)

An image of a horizontal number line is shown with labels from negative 2 to positive 6. An arrow begins at 0 to 4. Another arrow begins at 4 to negative 1.

Step-by-step explanation: The arrow from 0 running to 4 is the graph of how the point on the line is a positive 4: Four added to 0

The "additive inverse" means start there and go in the opposite direction. The arrow is 5 units long, so they ended up at -1 . Adding -5 is the same as subtracting 5

4 + (-5) = -1 is the additive inverse of 4-5= -1

The descriptions of the number lines are well done, but difficult to sort out.
