Practice makes perfect
To evaluate the given expression for d=-9 and f=36, first, we should substitute these values into the expression.
-f/d
- 36/-9
When dividing real numbers, the quotient will be positive if the signs are the same and it will be negative if the signs are different. cc Same Sign & Different Signs (+)Ă·(+)=(+) & (+)Ă·(-)=(-) (-)Ă·(-)=(+) & (-)Ă·(+)=(-) In our case both numbers are negative, so the quotient will be positive.
-36/-9
36/9

We can verify this using a calculator.
