To determine whether to use "<" or ">" to create a true statement, let's compare the two numbers:

- \(-6.44\)
- \(-10.88\)

Since \(-6.44\) is closer to zero than \(-10.88\), it is the larger number (remember that with negative numbers, the number closer to zero is larger).

Therefore, the correct symbol to use is \(>\).

The true statement is:
\[
-6.44 > -10.88
\]

**Tip:** When comparing negative numbers, remember that a number closer to zero is always greater than a number further from zero.

Use either < or > to write a true statement: -6.44 [ ] -10.88
