    A / b = - 2

    Take note:

    to have a quotient with at negative sign, both a & b must have opposites signs. a can be a positive number while b is a negative number or vice versa. If both a and b have the same sign, its quotient will be a positive number.

    Let us disregard the sign.

    To arrive at the answer of 2, a must be twice the amount of b. meaning a = 2b.

    For example: look for a if b is equal to 2. a = 2 (2); a = 4.

    a / b = 2

    4 / 2 = 2

    2 = 2

    Now, we consider the sign of both numbers. a can be 4 while b can be - 2 OR vice versa.

    a / b = - 2

    4 / - 2 = - 2 or - 4 / 2 = - 2
