Answer:

Opposite of -4 is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite of -4 is 4.

Here is a number line:

                    *                                            *  

----------------(-4)-(-3)-(-2)-(-1)-(0)-(1)-(2)-(3)-(4)-----------------

So -4 and 4 are on opposite sides of 0 while having the same distance from 0.

The distance that -4 is from 0 is 4.

The distance that 4 is from 0 is 4.

If your number line is as the way I drew it above,-4 means left 4 from 0 and 4 means right 4 from 0.

0 is the midpoint of a line segment beginning at -4 and ending at 4.
