A good way to look at it is this way. Whenever you multiply/divide a positive number with a negative number you will receive a negative number. When you multiply/divide a positive and positive number you get a positive. When you multiply/divide a negative by a negative you get a positive number.

Then look at your option of answers. Which is correct?

The first is wrong because + x - = -
the second one which is -4 x -9 = -36 is wrong because - x - = +
