After the division it will be a negative.
A negative times a negative = a positive
A negative times a positive = a negative
A positive times a positive = a positive
A positive divided by a negative = a negative
A positive divided by a positive = a positive

If the signs are the same, you will get a positive; if they are different, you'll get a negative; this is true for both multiplication and division.

negative... it will only be positive if both are the same, either postive or negative. If they're both different then the result will always be negative.

It's a negative. Here's a handy way to learn it. The chart:
+ x + = +
- x - = +
+ x - = -
- x + = -
(also replace x for / and it's the same)
