Why you take g as negative in projectile motion?

it depends on what direction you take as the positive axis in a X,Y direction. if you say positive(X) is away from the earth then you would say gravity(g) is pulling the projectile the opposite direction from positive (X). if you say positive (X) is towards the center off the earth than you could say (g) is going with the (X) so g would end up positive. in summary is depends on how you set up the X,Y axis compared to the problem you are solving.
