The inequality sign will changed if we multiply or divide the inequality by any negative number.

Inequality:

Inequality in non-equal comparison between two numbers. Inequality holds true by adding or subtracting.

Consider the given that inequality A < B then

  • Adding property of inequality A + c < B + c
  • Subtraction property of inequality A - c < B -c
  • Multiplication property of inequality A c < B c but inequality sign changed if c is negative that is - A c > - B c
  • Division property of inequality [tex]\frac{A}{c} < \frac{B}{c}[/tex]

but the inequality sign will also changed if c is negative

[tex]\frac{A}{-c} > \frac{B}{-c}[/tex]

Therefore if we multiply or divide both the sides by any negative number the inequality sign will changed.
