To divide negative and positive numbers, first, look at the signs (= or -) If there is -__divided by -__, that will equal +___.
So, same equal positive... and different equals negative.
EX.
-9 dvided by +3= -3 (different signs, negative answer)
+9 divided by -3 = -3 (different signs, negative answer)
+9 divided by +3= +3 (same signs, positive answer)
-9 divided by -3= +3 (same signs, positive answer)
Something that my teacher taught us to help us remember whether it would be positive or negative was the Love-Hate Theory.
Love=Positive
Hate=Negative
If you have a positive number divided by a negative number, that would be Love and Hate, so if you love to hate, than that is basically hating, which is negative. Negative divided by a negative would be hate to hate, which is love, so positive. If you need more help, post something on my message board. Sara Marie
