This rule of inference is called "denial of the antecedent." It states that if the antecedent of a conditional statement is false, then the consequent must also be false. This is because the truth of the consequent depends on the truth of the antecedent, and if the antecedent is false, there is no reason to believe that the consequent is true.

A Is the Antecedent,and B Is the Consequent
