Players on a football field are similar to numbers on a number line. Gaining yards is like moving right on a number line, while losing yards is like moving left. The last four times one team had the ball, it lost 4 yards, gained 2 yards, lost 5 yards, and lost 2 yards. If the team started on its own 32 yard line, which of the following sets of integers represents their last four possessions and correctly tells what yard line they are on after four possessions?

• -4, +2, -5, -2

• -4, -2, +5, +2

• -4, +2, -5, +2

• +4, +2, +5, +2
