Ok, so

Here we have an inequality, so, we're going to solve it.

-5x<2. If we solve this inequality, we obtain x > (-2/5).

(Remember that sign change because of division by a negative number).

So, the interval of solution will be (-2/5, infinity).

Then, two values that make -5x<2 true would be:

- 1 and 2. for example.

And, two values that make -5x<2 false would be:

- -3 and -4, for example.
