Answer: Positive
Explanation:
Example for multiplication:
Imagine 4 friends that owe you $8 each.
Each friend that pays you back represents their payback as -$8.
-$8 * 4 friends = -$32 that they owe you.
The moment they give it back, you now have +$32. The Debt was taken away.
Example for Division:
Imagine splitting 8 dollars in debt with 4 friends, each friend then has $2 in debt. Each payback means you have +$2.
Another visual way to think of this is with Number Lines.
On a number line, when you multiply by a larger absolute value the numbers get bigger and go farther away from 0. So, taking a negative and multiplying it by a positive makes it MORE negative, as opposed to multiplying it by negative and then it reflects the number line,
