To solve the inequality $ -2y \leq 4 $, follow these steps: 1. **Divide both sides by -2**: Remember that when you divide (or multiply) an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign. \[ y \geq \frac{4}{-2} \] 2. **Simplify**: \[ y \geq -2 \] The solution to the inequality is: \[ y \geq -2 \] This means that $ y $ can take any value that is greater than or equal to $-2$.

To solve the inequality $ -2y \leq 4 $, follow these steps:

Divide both sides by -2: Remember that when you divide (or multiply) an inequality by a negative number, you must reverse the inequality sign.

\[ y \geq \frac{4}{-2} \]
Simplify:

\[ y \geq -2 \]

The solution to the inequality is:

\[ y \geq -2 \]

This means that $ y $ can take any value that is greater than or equal to $-2$.
