Answer:

Paul is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Paul is correct.

Let's say N is negative and P is positive.

Let x be the numerator and y be the denominator.

If P/P, then the quotient is positive

If N/N, then the quotient is positive

If N/P, then the quotient is negative

If P/N, then the quotient is positive.

Therefore, x over y can result in either a positive or negative quotient.
