Answer 1

To order the numbers \(-32\), \(0.5\), \(9 - \sqrt{9}\), and \(-2\) on a number line, we need to evaluate where each number falls.

1. Evaluate \(9 - \sqrt{9}\):
   • \(\sqrt{9} = 3\), so \(9 - \sqrt{9} = 9 - 3 = 6\).

Now we have the numbers:

• \(-32\)
• \(-2\)
• \(0.5\)
• \(6\)

2. Order the numbers from least to greatest:

• The least number is \(-32\).
• Next is \(-2\).
• Then comes \(0.5\).
• Finally, \(6\).

Thus, the correct order of the numbers on the number line is:

\[ -32, -2, 0.5, 6 \]
