(-)(-) - positive

(-)(+) - negative

(+)(-) - negative

(+)(+) - positive

(-7)(-5)(-5)(1)

c. Negative, because the product (-7)(-2) is positive, and the product (-5)(1) is negative and the product of a positive and a negative number is negative

(-7)(-5) → (-)(-) - positive

(-5)(1) → (-)(+) - negative

(positive)(negative) - negative
