Positive product:


((-2)/(5))((-2)/(5))\\((2)/(5))((2)/(5))

With multiplication if two negative numbers are being multiplied together the answer is positive. If two positive numbers are being multiplied the answer is also positive. Another way to think of it is, that if two numbers with the SAME sign are being multiplied then the product will always be positive

Negative product:


((-2)/(5))((2)/(5))


((2)/(5))((-2)/(5))

If a negative and positive number are being multiplied then the product is ALWAYS negative

Hope this helped!
