Answers:
-12<-9
7>5
0>-2

Reasoning:
If you look at a number line, the further left it goes, the numbers become less value. If you look to the right, the numbers become greater in value. Therefore, the negative numbers are to the left past 0. The further away from 0 a negative number is, the less value it has. Think of it this way: would you rather be -5,000 dollars in debt or be -2,000 dollars in debt? Well, of the two numbers, you would want to be -2,000 dollars in debt rather than -5,000 dollars in debt because -2,000 is closer to 0 than -5,000, so you want to be closest to having 0 dollars in debt.
