Answer :
Because of the properties of division, we know that a positive number divided by a positive number will be a positive number
[tex] \frac{1}{1} = 1[/tex]
Likewise, a negative number divided by a negative number will be a positive number
[tex] \frac{-1}{-1} = 1[/tex]
But a positive number divided by a negative number, or vice versa will be a negative number.
[tex] \frac{-1}{1} = \frac{1}{-1} = -1[/tex]
[tex] \frac{1}{1} = 1[/tex]
Likewise, a negative number divided by a negative number will be a positive number
[tex] \frac{-1}{-1} = 1[/tex]
But a positive number divided by a negative number, or vice versa will be a negative number.
[tex] \frac{-1}{1} = \frac{1}{-1} = -1[/tex]
