B The quotient b ÷ a is negative.
& Both a and b are negative.
D The quotient - b ÷ a is negative.
E Both a and b are positive.

Answer 1

C, E, and D

Explanation:

Since the quotient of a and b is positive, then a and b could both be negative and both be positive. Additionally, the quotient of -b/a is also negative.

For example:

12/6 = 2.

-12/-6 = 2.

-12/6 = -2.
