What is negative numbers ?

Suppose you opened a bank account and deposited 1000 rupees, your bank balance will be 1000.

Now you took 2000 rupees loan from the bank. Your net balance will become 1000 subtracted by 2000.

This value will be less than zero because you took more than what you put in the bank.

We can call numbers less than 0 as negative numbers.

A positive number is a number that is greater than zero, and it falls to the right of zero on a horizontal number line. A negative number is a number that is less than zero and it falls to the left of zero on a horizontal number line
