Order the pair -1 and -4 using the correct inequality symbol.

A-1 < -4
B-1 > -4
C-1 = -4
D-4 > -1
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. -1 > -4
1. Locate -1 and -4 on the number line. 2. -1 sits to the right of -4, since -1 is closer to zero. 3. A number to the right of another is the greater one, so -1 is greater than -4. _Source: OpenStax Elementary Algebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 1 "Foundations", section 1.3 Add and Subtract Integers_
