Answer:

10

Explanation:

The restriction m < 0 means we can multiply by -7m/2 without changing the direction of the inequality symbol


(3)/(m)\le-\frac27\\\\-(21)/(2)\le m\qquad m<0}

Then the solution is the number of negative integer values between -10.5 and 0. There are 10 negative integer values of m that satisfy the inequality.
