true

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\boxed {\tt True}`

Explanation:

This is true. Whenever you divide or multiply an inequality by a negative number, you must flip the inequality sign.

Here is an example:

`-9x>27`

We have to divide both sides of the inequality by -9. Since it is a negative number, flip the inequality sign.

`(-9x)/(-9) <(27)/(-9)`

`x<(27)/(-9)`

`x<-3`

So, it is true that you must flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number.
