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.
Negative. Sorry. No you do not. Adding a negative to a negative gives you a number that is even more negative. Picture a number line. A negative number is to the left of zero, and adding a negative number moves further left. ■
Negative numbers can be found to the left of 0 on the number line.
A number line can have both positive and negative numbers. You can put the number line in any position, but often it is represented so that numbers to the right of zero are positive, and numbers to the left of zero, negative.
It is 1.375 units to the left (negative) of zero.

Adding a negative number is the equivalent to moving to the left on a negative-positive number line.
negative 2.6 is farther to the left
A number line has negative numbers to the left of zero, and -3.5 is a distance of 3.5 to the left.

Subtracting a negative number has the same effect as adding a positive number - think of it as moving right on a number line whereas, subtracting a positive number will move you left on a number line.
