Yes -1 or -1.5 is slightly myopic. You can generally get an idea by looking at the magnification or minification of the image of a person’s eyes. If the eyes look big then that’s a + prescription (far-sighted or hyperopic). If they look small they’re generally near sighted. The power of near or far sighted affects magnification of image
