Please help ASP!!!! A= positive, B=Negative, C=Zero​
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

B. Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, we want to locate the variable.

y (x/y) = (y/1) (x/y)

           = (xy/y)

           = x

The y/y cancels out and now we know we need to find the sign of x. Because x is to the left of 0, it's negative. Anything to the left decreases and anything to the left of 0 is (-).
