Why it is necessary to reverse the inequality symbol when multiplying both sides of an inequality by a negative number Provide an example to support your explanation?
"<" means "farther to the left on the number line " and ">" means "farther to the right on the number line". Multiplying by a negative number switches the sign, which is a reflection that turns left into right. Double switch example: 1<2 multiply this by (-2): -2>-4 multiply this by (-1): 2<4
