-5 is bigger because it is closer to zero on the number line. This is because negative numbers get smaller and smaller the farther they are from zero.

-15 is the smaller number because the further you go into the negatives like -30, -47, -52; youre getting further away from 0 and after 0 are positive numbers so -15 would be the smaller number
