Answer 1

`-13<-10`

The given numbers are -13 and -10.

Notice that both numbers are negative, which means the number with the greatest absolute value is the least one, therefore

`-13<-10`

If we place these number in a number line, we would write down the -13 and the -10 at its right, as the image attached shows.
