If x and y are integers, which of the following conditions below is sufficient for (y-x)/-x to be positive?
\n" ); document.write( "A) y>0 and x>0,
\n" ); document.write( "B) x>y and x>0,
\n" ); document.write( "C) y<0 and x<0 or
\n" ); document.write( "D) y>0
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "in order for this to be positive, both the denominator and numerator have to have the same sign.
\n" ); document.write( "B: if x is positive and greater than y, the numerator is neg and the denominator is neg, hence the expression is positive \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
