If the quotient of two numbers is negative, it must be true that **one of the numbers is negative**.
In general, the quotient of two numbers (let's call them \(a\) and \(b\)) is negative when one of the numbers is positive and the other is negative. If both were positive or both were negative, the quotient would be positive.
