Negative

Work Step by Step

We see that $n$ is multiplied by a negative, so it will become positive. A positive divided by a negative number results in a negative number. On the outside of the expression, there is a negative in front of the $m$, so this evaluates to a positive number. Finally, we see that a positive times a negative results in a negative number.
