Answer:

First is, second is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

Start plugging them!

[tex]-(1) < -(-2) \rightarrow -1 < 2 \\ \\- (-4) < -(2) \rightarrow 4 < -2[/tex]

First one is true, so the pair is a solution.

Second is false, (4 is obviously bigger!) so it's not a solution.

If you end up having to check multiple values, your best bet is to draw the solutions on a convenient plane and see where the points lay
