Question

When comparing two negative integers, how can you determine which integers is the greatest number

Answer 1

That depends on what kind of numbers you have.

Explanation:

When you are comparing two negative integers, for example, -9 and -15 you can tell how far the units are on the number line placement.

On the number line, -9 is greater than -15 even though 15 is greater than 9 on the positive side of the number line because -9 is farther to the right of the number line and is much closer to the positive area.
