When we multiply both sides of an inequality by a negative number the sense of the inequality is swapped.
So if we multiply both sides of
a < b
by -1 we find that
-a > -b
Answer: -a > -b
Answer:
You will know that b<a
Explanation:
Why? Well, it is simple really. They are OPPOSITES. Therefore, the inequality will be opposite.
Example:
a=1, b=2
1<2
a's opposite=-1, b's opposite=-2
-1>-2
-2<-1
