In mathematics, when comparing two negative numbers, the number closer to zero is actually larger. Therefore, -1 is bigger than -7 because it is closer to zero on the number line. Negative numbers increase in value as you move to the right on the number line, so -1 is greater than -7.

Well, honey, in the world of numbers, the further you go to the left on the number line, the smaller the number gets. So, in this case, -1 is definitely bigger than -7. It's basic math, darling.
