For all real non-zero values of x, the expression -x is

What about for -IxI (the lines mean absolute value)

1st one you are right because 2/3 < 4/5 so to the left
2nd one you are wrong becuase it can be both. if x is positive -x is negative and if x is -ve -x is positive
3rd one you are right

1)Its to the left, but it determines if its going highest-lowest or lowest-highest
and 2/3 is usually lower than 4/5
2)if theres a number that has -in front of it, its always negative
so youre correct on both
