Answer:

The inequalities are used as:

a > b (a is greater than b)

a < b (a is smaller than b)

a ≤ b (a is smaller than or equal to b)

a ≥ b (a is greater than or equal to b)

a ≠ b (a is different than b)

Now, let's apply these for our two numbers.

-8 and -13

We know that for negative numbers, the larger absolute value means that the number is smaller, then we relate these numbers in the next 3 ways.

-8 > -13 (-8 is greater than -13)

-13 < 8 (-13 is smaller than -8)

-13 ≠ -8 (-13 is different than -8)
