IS negative 1 larger than negative 2?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 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.
