Yes. In general, a negative number with a SMALLER absolute value (the value of the number once you remove the sign) is LARGER. If this looks confusing, look at the numbers on a number line. Zero is somewhere on the number line, positive numbers are to the right of zero (1, 2, 3, 4, ...), negative numbers are to the left of zero (-1, -2, -3, -4, ...). If one number is greater than another, then it is further to the right on the number line.
