This example allows students to investigate what happens when you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by a constant and why the inequality symbol flips. It covers the fundamental properties of inequalities. By constructing points A, B, P, AP, and BP, students can visually understand the multiplication rules of inequalities. Suitable for middle school and above students, it helps deepen the understanding of inequality properties.

AI Drawing Prompt Reference

On a coordinate plane, place two movable points along the horizontal axis, each representing a value on one side of an inequality. These points lie on the same horizontal line for comparison. By dragging them, users can observe how multiplying or dividing both sides by a constant affects the direction of the inequality sign. The visual should clearly show the relative positions of the two points, enabling intuitive exploration of when the inequality symbol flips.
