1. **State the problem:** Solve the equation $-\frac{7}{2} = -\frac{2}{4}$.
2. **Simplify the right side:**
$$-\frac{2}{4} = -\frac{1}{2}$$
3. **Rewrite the equation:**
$$-\frac{7}{2} = -\frac{1}{2}$$
4. **Compare both sides:**
The left side is $-3.5$ and the right side is $-0.5$.
5. **Conclusion:**
Since $-3.5 \neq -0.5$, the equation is false.
Therefore, the equation $-\frac{7}{2} = -\frac{2}{4}$ is not true.
