negative:

In mathematics, a negative number represents an opposite. In the real number system, a negative number is a number that is less than zero. Negative numbers are often used to represent the magnitude of a loss or deficiency.

positive:

The positive numbers are the numbers that are greater than zero. Zero is neither positive nor negative.
