Question

For the following statement write True (T) or False (F). If the statement is false, correct the statement:

Smallest negative integer is –1.

Answer 1

False

As we go from left to right on the number line the value of the integer increases.

$\therefore$ -1 is the greatest negative integer. (Since all the other negative integers are to the left of -1 on the number line.)

Correct statement: The greatest negative integer is -1.
