D. x is greater than or equal to -8

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality given by the problem is:


-(x)/(4) \leq 2

In order to solve it, we must do the following steps:

- Multiply by 4 on both sides of the inequality:


-(x)/(4) \cdot 4 \leq 2 \cdot 4\\-x \leq 8

- Change the sign of both sides: when doing this step, we must reverse the sign of the inequality:


-x \leq 8\\x \geq -8

So, the correct option is

D. x is greater than or equal to -8
