It will easy if you draw a co-ordinate plane...

Draw co-ordinate plane....a line having negetive slope passng thru the origin..

a<b will be only when (a,b) lies in the second quadrant...proving b is positive

In the 4th quadrant, a is always positive and b is negatve,,
so no way can a be greater or even equal to b..
