negative number are you every day take away some say if you had 10 bucks and you want to buy something that costs 7 thats negative 7 dollars...
Another example if you only had $2 and you wanted to buy something that cost $4 then you would need two more dollars therefore -$2
Its not only that its has a lot to do with debt to if you borrowed money of a bank because you didn't have enough money to buy something.
Borrowed money: $4000
Money owed &2000
Object Wanted: $6000
Therefore you would owe the bank $4000 plus whatever interest so you would own -$4000 dollars

Any situation numbers are used.
Negative numbers are often used when there are opposites; in this case, one of the opposites is assigned positive numbers, the other, negative numbers. For example, you might:* Use positive numbers for positions above sea level, and negative for below sea level. * Use positive numbers for money you have in your bank account; negative numbers for money you owe others. * Use positive numbers for northern latitudes, and negative numbers for southern latitudes. Or vice versa. * There are lots of other situations where opposites are involved, but you probably get the idea.
You use positive numbers all the time, like in a store. But negative numbers are used when you're in debt. The more money you owe, the more you're in debt, the lower the numbers go. Also in games where you can have points deducted, sometimes you may end up with -5 points.
