"Which values are farther from 0 than -2 is?"

we can see that it goes from $  -3 $ to $  -\infty  $

" Is this set of values different from the set of values greater than -2?"

yes it is, as they are smaller.

"Why?"

because we can see the numbers continue going all the way to the left hand side of the axis -- that means that the numbers are further from 0, which directly makes them smaller.

yes they are different, but not greater. They are smaller.
