The answer is negative four BECAUSE...

20/5 is POSITIVE four

20/-5 is a NEGATIVE four because a positive divided by a negative is a negative.

Easy way to remember negs/pos:

n * p = n

p* n = n

p * p = p

n * n = p

n / p = n

p / n = n

p / p = p

n / n = p

There are always two ways to get a positive, and two ways to get a negative. Very simple.
