Need help please with negative numbers

What I like to do with negative numbers is count back from the positive to the negative here I can make a number line! :) think of it this way 0 is the middle of your positive and negative numbers it’s where they are coming together!
-5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5
————————————
Here #5 (on your paper)
8-11 so count back from 8 eleven times
8-11= -3
If u need anymore help I’m here :)
Ik negative & positive numbers are pretty tricky lol
Best of luck :))
