Problem
Determine whether the statement is true or false. \[ -11>-6 \] Choose the correct answer below. A. The statement is false because -11 is to the left of -6 on a number line. B. The statement is true because -11 is to the right of -6 on a number line. C. The statement is false because -11 is to the right of -6 on a number line. D. The statement is true because -11 is to the left of -6 on a number line.
Solution
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 ：\(\boxed{\text{The statement is false because -11 is to the left of -6 on a number line.}}\)
