Answer
$y\geq9$
Work Step by Step
$-5\geq-\frac{5}{9}y$
Multiply both sides by $-\frac{9}{5}$
$-\frac{9}{5}\times-5\geq-\frac{5}{9}\times-\frac{9}{5}$
Simplify: (reverse inequality sign)
$y\geq9$
Let's check:
let y=12
$-5\geq-\frac{5}{9}(12)$
$-5\geq\frac{-20}{3}$ or $-5\geq-6.67$
The statement is true
