Whenever you have two opposites, you can use positive number for one, and negative numbers for the other. For example:
* Having money might be positive, owing money might be negative (owing money is worse than just having nothing).
* Getting money might be a positive change; spending money (or otherwise losing it), a negative change.
* Places above sea level might be assigned a positive altitude; places below sea level, a negative altitude.
* If latitudes north of the equator are defined as positive, then latitudes south of the equator would be negative. Or the other way round.
