Answer:

Shown in the image

Explanation:

The number line

It's a graphic representation of the real numbers, usually centered at the value 0 and where the positive numbers running to the right, the negative numbers running to the left.

The product (-4)(-2)(-1) can be operated by multiplying the signs apart from the magnitudes. Recall an odd number of negative signs results in a negative number:

(-) * (-) * (-) = -

The product of the magnitudes is 4*2*1=8. Thus the result is -8.

The representation of this number is shown in the image below.
