Answer:

1

Explanation:

To find the answer of a negative and a positive, you subtract and then keep the symbol of the bigger number. So in the equation 1-8 you subtract 1 from 8, then keep the symbol of the 8 (which is a negative) since it is the bigger number. 1 minus 8 is 7, and the symbol is negative, so the answer is -7. This makes K=1.
