Inequalities, Absolute Value, and Formulas: cumulative review

Create the representation most useful for checking this result: Start with $-4 < 2$. Multiply by $-5$ and justify the new comparison. Use an inequality, interval notation, and a number-line description; each must show the same endpoints, inclusion, and direction.
