(a) The number line is as follows:

In case, if we move 4 numbers to the right of -2, then we’ll reach number 2

(b) the number line is as follows:

In case, if we move 5 numbers to the left of 1, then we’ll reach number -4

(c) The number line is as follows:

We can observe that,

-13 is to the left of -8

Hence,

We should move towards to the left direction.

(d) The number line is as follows:

We can observe that,

-1 is to the left of -6

Hence,

We should move towards to the right direction.
