Explanation:

Step1: Multiply both sides by -2

When multiplying or dividing an inequality by a negative number, the inequality sign flips. So, multiply both sides of \(\frac{m}{-2} > 4\) by -2: \(m < 4\times(-2)\)

Step2: Calculate the right side

\(4\times(-2)= -8\), so \(m < -8\)

Answer:

B. \(m < -8\)
