What is the reason for my SVG coordinate system allowing for negative coordinates?

edit

The SVG coordinate system allows for negative coordinates so that you can position and place shapes precisely where you want them in relation to the origin point (0,0). With negative coordinates, you can position shapes to the left or above the origin. This flexibility in positioning elements makes it easier to create complex designs and layouts. Additionally, negative coordinates allow for more precise placement of elements when animating or transforming them.
