x >= y, then x/-2 >= y/-2

This is never true. Suppose x and y are positive. Then, x/-2 is farther to the left on a number line than y/-2. (less)

Suppose x and y are negative. Then, x/-2 is smaller than y/-2.

***correction: x/-2 = y/-2 when x = y.

The correct answer is it is SOMETIMES TRUE.
If x=y, then x/(-2) = y/(-2)
