Final answer:

To find the values that satisfy -p > -7, we divide both sides by -1, which reverses the inequality sign, resulting in p < 7. A graph would show a number line with a point at 7 and shading to the left indicating all values less than 7 fulfill the inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

You asked to select the values that make the inequality -p > -7 true and then write an equivalent inequality in terms of p. To solve for p, we should divide both sides of the inequality by -1. Remember that when you multiply or divide by a negative number in an inequality, you must reverse the direction of the inequality sign. Therefore, p < 7 is the equivalent inequality in terms of p.

As for sketching a graph of the situation, imagine a number line with the x-axis representing the values of p. Then, mark a point at p = 7 and shade all the area to the left of that point since p < 7 represents all values less than 7.
