    Ok so immagine a number line

    in the middle is zero

    to the left ot zero is negative

    to the right of zero is positivee

    the farther to the right you are, the bigger you are

    the farther to the left you are, the smaller you are

    negative means like backwards

    so - 5 and - 17

    which would you go farther back?

    -5 or - 17?

    5 steps back or 17 steps back

    answer is 17 steps back or - 17 steps

    it goes farther to the left

    answer is - 17
