If a memory location is to contain a signed integer, then it will have a sign bit (zero means positive, one means negative). Also the negative numbers are represented by a complement (normally the two's complement). The article in the related link does a good explanation.
What this means: for example, an 8 bit location could represent 256 possible numbers. In an unsigned situation, this would be 0 to 255. But in a signed situation, the range is -128 to +127.

The same as in many programming languages and other places where formulae are used.

For example, if "x" is positive, "-x" is negative, and vice versa. As a binary symbol (i.e., between two numbers), it means subtraction.
