Question

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Considerations:

`$y=-(x) \left \{ {{\text{if } x<0\text{ then }y>0} \atop {{\text{if } x> 0\text{ then }y<0}} \right. $`

`$y=x\left \{ {{\text{if } x<0\text{ then }y<0} \atop {{\text{if } x> 0\text{ then }y>0}} \right. $`

Also,

`$-(a)/(b)=(-a)/(b)=(a)/(-b), b\\eq0 $`

A positive number divided by a positive number results in a positive quotient, and its opposite is always negative.

The fraction
`$(5)/(-12) $` can be described as a positive number divided by a negative number, which always result in a negative quotient.

The fractions have same value, so Liam is correct.
