There's sort of two answers to this:
1) it's totally arbitrary, as are all the rules of math.
2) think of all numbers as vectors rather than as scalars.
... Thus all positive numbers lie to the right of the origin, or at 0 degrees - negative numbers are then at 180 degrees.
... Then when you multiply two vectors you add their angles.
... and 180 + 180 = 360 (or 0) and is therefore a positive result.

Because two negative multiplied together equal a positive. So after the first multiplication we have a positive and a negative. When we multiply these we have a negative.
A positive

No, a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive, as is of course a positive multiplied by a positive. Only when a negative is multiplied by a positive is the answer negative.

A positive number added to a negative number may be either positive or negative depending on the magnititude ( absolute value) of the numbers. But a positive number multiplied by a negative number is always negative.
No, any 2 negative numbers multiplied together equal a positive number
A positive number multiplied by a positive number will give a positive answer:1 x 1 = 1In contrast, a negative number multiplied by a positive number gives a negative answer:-1 x 1 = -1Finally two negative numbers multiplied together give a positive answer:-1 x -1 = 1
