We noticed that there are numbers less than zero (below zero).
Look at the number line. We call them negative numbers and use the negative sign (-) with them.

a) (-2) < 4 : 4 is greater than (-2)
4 is on the right side of (-2) on the number line.
b) (-12) < (-3) : (-3) is greater than (-12).
(-3) is on the right side of (-13) on the number line.
Exercises

Use > or < in with reasoning:

a) 314 > (-973).
Reason: Positive is always greater than negative.
c) 0.01 > (-72).
