If $Ax\geq b$, under what conditions on $K$ can I premultiply it and preserve the sign? i.e
What is a sufficient condition on $K$ for: $KAx\geq Kb$

Suppose you have two vectors which satisfies the component-wise inequality (denoted $\ge_c$) $\mathbb{x} \ge_c \mathbb{y}$ If you want a matrix such that $A\mathbb{x} \ge_c A\mathbb{y}$ then that is equivalent to requiring $\mathbb{a_i}\cdot \mathbb{x} \ge \mathbb{a_i}\cdot \mathbb{y}$ for each row vector $\mathbb{a_i}$ of $A$. It is sufficient (and probably necessary) that you require $A$ to be non-negative.
Let $y = Ax-b$
Assume $A$ is full rank. Then your question is the condition for matrix $K$, so that $Ky ≥_c 0,\ \forall y \geq_c 0 $
Necessary and sufficient condition for this, is non negativitity of $A$.
