Fill in the Blank

During a corporate budget review, a financial planner is solving the inequality u−4≥−16\frac{u}{-4} \geq -16 to determine acceptable departmental spending limits. To isolate the variable uu, they multiply both sides by −4-4. According to the properties of inequalities, whenever both sides of an inequality are multiplied or divided by a negative number, the planner must ____ the direction of the inequality symbol.
