The sign of a will be negative ~

let the value of be be ' -x ' , -x is a negative number (b = -x < 0)

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: a \times \frac{ - b}{b} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: a \times \frac{ - ( - x)}{ - x} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: a \times \frac{ x}{ - x} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \: a \times \frac{ - x}{ x} [/tex]

[tex]\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:a \times - 1[/tex]

[tex] \qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:- a[/tex]

Therefore, the term a, has a negative sign unless it's value is substituted, I.e -a = 0 ( having no sign )
