Because it is negative!
WHICH EVER negative integer is close to 0, is higher. In other words, less numbers are greater than higher numbers. :
OpenStudy (breannagaushas):
because negative 5 is not greater than negative 2 because -5 is farther away from zero on the left side which makes it C

EXAMPLE:
So 3, would be higher than '6'.
-3 > -6.
OpenStudy (misssmartiez):
Keep in mind, - is opposed to +
OpenStudy (breannagaushas):
actually @MissSmartiez you cant put positive numbers on the left side of zero because that would make them negative

i know, I was too lazy to correct them @BreannaGaushas ...
YOU should know what I meant since it is behind zero, common sense though.
