-6 and -8
none of the above

Answer 1

6 and -8

-6 and 8

Explanation:

___· ___ = (-48)

Is the same as:

___· ___ = -48

A positive number multiplied by a negative number has a negative product.

P * N = N

Two positive numbers and two negative numbers have a positive product.

P * P = P

N * N = P

6 and -8 and -6 and 8 would be the correct answers. Again, a positive and a negative number will have a negative product.

6 * -8 = -48

-6 * 8 = -48

Hope this helps.
