Given that we have -x/-y when x is greater than 0 and y is also greater than 1, the result will have a positive(+) sign.

Example: Let x = 8 and y = 4,

To solve the above, we have:


(-x)/(-y)\text{ = }(-8)/(-4)\text{ = 2}

From the example above we can see that the answer is a positive value, which means it has a positive(+) sign.
