Answer:

points closest to zero will give the least change; those farthest away will give the greatest change. Listing the points in order by distance from 0 will put them in order by amount of change.

Explanation:

The amount of change is the absolute value of the number on the number line. That value is the (positive) distance from 0. The numbers will most easily be compared if they are all put on one side of zero. For example, -1.75 and 1.75 are the same distance from zero, as are -3.25 and 3.25.

Listing the points in order by distance from 0 will put them in order by amount of change. In order, least change to greatest change, the numbers are ...

-1.75, 2.50, -3.25, -3.50, 4.75
