Why would I use them? Does the minus make me slow, and the plus fast?

You start the car with 1st and then 2nd gear. Anything more will damage your engine.
You drive in pedestrian areas in 2nd – 3rd gear (maximum).
On the highway you use 5th gear. But you gotta build up to it for a few seconds, as you accelerate, don’t just go straight to 5.
In sharp turns, as you decelerate, you go one gear lower, two sometimes.
Uphill is also another place where you use lower gears (switch from 5 to 4, in some cases even to 3 or 2) because those rotations help your engine to overcome the obstacle.
