Verified Answer :

Given -1 as based
number, we need to look for another number to be able to produce a positive
answer.

First, remember always the rule in multiplying any negative number to another
negative number will produce a positive answer.

Let’s have an example:

=> -1 x - 2

=> + 2


though we have 2 negative numbers multiply, the answer is positive.

Mathematics rule:

Positive x Positive = Positive

Positive x Negative = Negative

negative x negative = Positive.
