Describe how to find the sums -4 + 2 and -4 + -2 on a number line

For number 1, you start at zero and go to the left since the four is negative four spaces. Then, you go to the right two spaces since the 2 is positive. Your answer is -2

For number 2, you start at zero and go left four spaces since it is negative and then go two more spaces to the left because it is negative again
