Do you mean with a denominator that is also negative? If you do, then it would be just like dividing positive numbers, the answer would be positive.
If you divide two numbers and they have different signs, then the answer will be negative. However the task of dividing is the same no matter what the signs are.
So... If they are the same sign ---> Positive
If they are opposite signs ---> Negative
