Answer:
Considerations:
[tex]$y=-(x) \left \{ {{\text{if } x<0\text{ then }y>0} \atop {{\text{if } x> 0\text{ then }y<0}} \right. $[/tex]
[tex]$y=x\left \{ {{\text{if } x<0\text{ then }y<0} \atop {{\text{if } x> 0\text{ then }y>0}} \right. $[/tex]
Also,
[tex]$-\frac{a}{b}=\frac{-a}{b}=\frac{a}{-b}, b\neq0 $[/tex]
A positive number divided by a positive number results in a positive quotient, and its opposite is always negative.
The fraction [tex]$\frac{5}{-12} $[/tex] can be described as a positive number divided by a negative number, which always result in a negative quotient.
The fractions have same value, so Liam is correct.
