Answer:

When you divide a negative number by a positive number then the quotient is negative. When you divide a positive number by a negative number then the quotient is also negative. When you divide two negative numbers then the quotient is positive. The same rules hold true for multiplication.

Step-by-step explanation:

Integers are numbers without decimal points.

The quotient of two negative integers is positive because the inverse of a negative number is a positive number.

In algebra, there is a concept called additive inverse.

Literally, additive inverse is the negation of a number.

Take for instance:

  • The additive inverse of 2 is -2
  • The additive inverse of 8 is -8
  • The additive inverse of -10 is 10

So, when two negative numbers are divided, the negatives would cancel out because the two negatives represent the inverse of a positive sign.
