Solving and Graphing −13m≥65-13m \geq 65

To solve the linear inequality −13m≥65-13m \geq 65, apply the Division Property of Inequality. Because the variable mm is multiplied by a negative coefficient, dividing both sides by −13-13 requires reversing the inequality sign, which results in m≤−5m \leq -5. To graph the solution on a number line, a right bracket is placed at −5-5 and shading is applied to the left. In interval notation, the solution set is expressed as (−∞,−5](-\infty, -5].
