1 answer

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:

  • \(-32\)
  • \(-2\)
  • \(0.5\)
  • \(6\)
  1. 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:

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