just copy that and paste it in your address bar.
basically the number line works as follows:
your equation is 4 + 5.
that's the same as +4 and +5.
your number line is numbered from 0 to 10 (should be sufficient for this operation)
i consider each number a stop.
your first number is + 4, so you start from 0 and go to the right 4 stops.
you will land on the number 4.
your second number is + 5, so you start from the number 4 and go to the right 5 stops.
you will land on the number 9.
it's hard to show here, but i'll try:
here's your number line
0---1---2---3---4---5---6---7---8---9---10---11---12
you start from 0 and go to the right 4 stops. you will land on the number 4.
----|---|---|--->
you start from the number 4 and go to the right 5 stops. you will land on the number 9.
----|---|---|--->---|---|---|---|--->
since you went to the right 4 and then to the right another 5, you landed on 9, so 4 + 5 = 9

if you can copy that internet address into your address bar and go there you should be able to see many more examples.
that internet address is again:

they will have +, -, *, / buttons.
click on + and then click on "go" and the solution will appear on the number line.
you can do the same for any of the other operations.
