As you move to the left on a number line, negative numbers become smaller in value. This means that each step left represents a decrease in the number, moving toward more negative values. For example, moving from -2 to -3 means you are decreasing the value. Thus, the further left you go, the larger the absolute value of the negative number, indicating a lower numerical value.
