Answer
(i) Given,
x < -y
∴ -x > y [Using rule 5]
Hence, the statement is True.
(ii) Given,
-5x ≥ 15
Dividing both sides of the above inequation by -5,
⇒ x ≤ -3 [Using rule 4]
Hence, the statement is False.
(iii) Given,
2x ≤ -7
Dividing both sides of the above inequation by -4,
⇒ [Using rule 4]
Hence, the statement is True.
(iv) Given,
7 > 5
Taking reciprocals,
[Using rule 6]
Hence, the statement is True.
