Question

Given that x, y and b are real numbers and x < y, b < 0, then ______.

Options

• ${\displaystyle \frac{x}{b}<\frac{y}{b}}$

• ${\displaystyle \frac{x}{b}\le \frac{y}{b}}$

• ${\displaystyle \frac{x}{b}>\frac{y}{b}}$

• ${\displaystyle \frac{x}{b}\ge \frac{y}{b}}$

Answer 1

Given that x, y and b are real numbers and x < y, b < 0, then ${\displaystyle \underline{\frac{x}{b}>\frac{y}{b}}}$.

Explanation:

Given that x < y, b < 0

⇒ ${\displaystyle \frac{x}{b}>\frac{y}{b},b<0}$
