4.  

a. On the number line below, which points are 4 units away from 0.

y'all be negative so you'll end up with negative 4

b. If you fold the number line so that a vertical crease goes through 0, the points you
label would match up. Explain why this happens.

because you folded number line and if you fold the number one it's good to look
exactly the same but like the negatives will be behind the numbers instead
