For this case we have the following options:

Option 1:


-2 <-3

On the number line the -3 is further from 0. This means that -3 <-2.

It is not fulfilled!

Option 2:


-2>-3

-2 is closer to 0 on the number line. Therefore -2> -3.

Is fulfilled!

Option 3:


-2 = -3

The numbers are not equal. It is not fulfilled!

Answer:

The correct option is option 2.
