A safety inspector at a construction firm uses the inequality n−2≥8\frac{n}{-2} \geq 8 to model the maximum safe weight distribution nn for temporary scaffolding. To solve for nn, the inspector must multiply both sides of the inequality by the negative number -2. According to the Multiplication Property of Inequality, multiplying both sides by a negative number requires the inspector to ____ the direction of the inequality symbol.
