English term or phrase: wrong direction
Hola, necesito ayuda con la traducción de "wrong direction" en la siguiente oración:

This is incorrect because the inequalities go in the wrong direction and are inclusive of the wrong points. Also the compound inequality would use and.

Muchas gracias!

Spanish translation:dirección equivocada
Explanation:
... van en la dirección equivocada...

En vez de subir bajan, o viceversa, ¿no?

Algo de contexto adicional ayudaría, pero no creo que sea otra cosa.

Saludos cordiales.
