Answer:

The number further left on a number line is the smaller number. For positive numbers, the number closest to zero is smaller. For negative numbers, the number closest to zero is larger.

The opposite of a is also closer to zero than the opposite of b, so the opposite of a must be larger than the opposite of b.
