When adding or subtracting a positive number from both sides, the direction of the inequality is reversed.OB. When multiplying or dividing by a negative number, the direction of the inequality is reversed.OC. When adding or subtracting a negative number from both sides, the direction of the inequality is reversed.OD. When multiplying or dividing by a positive number, the direction of the inequality is reversed.

Answer 1

Given a linear equation and linear inequality respectively represented as

`\begin{gathered} y=ax-b \\ y>ax-b \end{gathered}`

A linear inequality is different from a linear equation such that in solving a linear inequality,

when multiplying or dividing by a negative number, the direction of the inequality is reversed.

The correct option is B
