Answer:

-2<-9

Step-by-step explanation:

With negatives, the number farther away from zero is the lowest number. If you can imagine a number line, at put -2 and -9 on it, you would figure out that -9 would be farther away from 0 than -2, meaning that -9 is lesser than -2. The equation shows that -9 is more than -2, which is incorrect
