Question:
Before considering the answer choices, recall the properties of positive and negative integers. Both multiplication and division of a positive integer with a negative integer always yield a negative integer. Consequently, the only possible answer choice that must be positive is y − x.
An alternative solution is choosing a small negative integer for x, −1, and a large positive integer for y, 100, and substituting these values into each of the answer choices.
