The negative number that has the greatest value here is -3 from the positioning of the number line.

Negative numbers on the number line get bigger the further left you go. Because it is positioned to the right of these numerals, -3 is therefore greater than -5, -8, and -10 in this particular interpretation.

Therefore, -3 does, in fact, have the largest value among the possibilities provided, if the question is framed with the notion that higher magnitude correlates to moving to the left on the number line.

Which of the following points represents the negative number with the greatest value?
