Answer:

No, -1 is greater than -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

When looking at a number line, you will see that -1 is closer to 0 than -3, making -1 the greater number.

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Negative 1 is greater than negative 3 because the farther the number is from zero, the smaller the number gets.
