Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer A

Correct answer: A

Explanation

  1. −2⋅b>0-2 \cdot b > 0 exactly when b<0b < 0.

  2. So the class is all the negative real numbers.

Worth noting

{−2,2}\{-2, 2\} mixes this relation up with 'same modulus'; here 2 and −2-2 have opposite signs.
