Answer

\(\boxed{\text{The statement is false because -11 is to the left of -6 on a number line.}}\)

Steps

Step 1 ：The statement "-11 > -6" is being evaluated.

Step 2 ：On a number line, numbers to the right are greater than numbers to the left.

Step 3 ：Since -11 is to the left of -6, -11 is less than -6, not greater.

Step 4 ：Therefore, the statement "-11 > -6" is false.

Step 5 ：\(\boxed{\text{The statement is false because -11 is to the left of -6 on a number line.}}\)
