Question 21281: When solving for inequalities you reverse your inequality symbol when an answer is negative why?

If you multiply or divide both sides of the inequality by the same negative number, the direction of the inequality reverses.This is because multiplying a number by -1 moves it to the other side of zero on the number line.
