Answer:

It would be a negative or positive depending on the situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A negative minus a negative would result in either a positive or negative. For example, -8 - (-9) would be 1 while -8 - (-7) would be -1. If the negative number your subtracting is greater than the number you're subtracting from then it will be positive, vice versa.

Which equation is the direct variation equation if f(x) varies directly with x and f(x)=-18 when x=3

Otrada [13]

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{direct proportional variation}\\\\
\textit{\underline{y} varies directly with \underline{x}}\qquad \qquad \stackrel{f(x)}{y}=kx\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
k=constant\ of\\
\qquad variation
\end{array}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{we also know that }
\begin{cases}
y=-18\\
x=3
\end{cases}\implies -18=k3
\\\\\\
\cfrac{-18}{3}=k\implies -6=k\qquad therefore\qquad \boxed{\stackrel{f(x)}{y}=-6x}$
