First change -4 - 2 to -4 + -2.
Now we can use our number line to
help us visualize what's going on.
Starting at 0, -4 moves us 4 units to the left along our number line.
From there, another -2 moves us 2 more units to
the left along the number line and we end up at -6.
So -4 + -2 simplifies to -6.
Work shown below.
