I believe that, it is only possible when you're talking about the additive inverse of a number. For example:
1+(-1)=0
tHE POINT IS (-1),THE OPPOSSITE IS LESS THAN 1.

False. Apart from the fact that there is no such thing as an opposite. If, by opposite, you mean negative (additive inverse), then start with a negative number. The negative of this will be positive, and so greater. If by opposite you mean the reciprocal (multiplicative inverse), start with a positive number less than one or a negative number less than -1.
