This can be determined by comparing the inequality, 2 > 1 (2 is greater than 1)
Subtract 3 from both sides, then 2 - 3 > 1 - 3 : -1 > -2
Therefore, -1 is greater than -2.

No, negative 1 is not larger than negative 2. In the number line, as you move to the left, the numbers become smaller. So, negative 2 is actually smaller than negative 1.
-1 is less than -1/2.
You can have negative fractions so it depends. it depends if you have a negative fraction you could have -1/2 but 1/2 is bigger than -1/2. negative numbers will always be smaller than positive numbers.
no
A negative number closest to zero is greater 2-3 = negative 1 2-5 = negative 3 negative 1 is bigger because it is closer to zero
It depends on the values of the negatives. if the second number has larger magnitude the answer is positive if not it remains negative. i.e. -3 - (-4) = -3 + 4 = 1 but -3 - (-2) = -3 + 2 = -1
