How can this be accomplished when you can't divide by 0? Does the negative twelve make a difference?

gumy7s answer says it correctly, and your belief that
you can't divide by 0 is correct. Saying that the answer is + or - infinity is another way of saying the answer is
undefined.
Saying 0/0=0 is just plain wrong.

No, we can't solve it. As ANY number (EXCEPT 0) divided by 0, the result is undefined. If 0/0, the result is uncertain number (it may be any number we can mentioned).
As I wrote above, -12 doesn't make any difference.

This does not make a difference, as anything divided by 0 is plus and minus infinity at the same time. So, the answer is + or - infinity.

You are absolutely correct. It can't be accomplished because no number can be divided by 0.

The answer is negative infinity.
Remember any number divided by 0 is always infinity.

anything divided by 0 is 0 it does not matter if there is a negative sign, because 0 can not be negative

any # divided by 0 is imaginary #
and the -12 doesn't make any difference

It does not make any difference what number is on top if the lower number is 0 it is still undefined
