The result of any multiplication done with a negative number results in the sum of the two or more numbers to be negative.

Answer:

always negative

Explanation:

That is, if you exclude 0. If you count zero as a positive number, that will be the exception to the rule. Luckily, zero is usually considered neither negative or positive.
