Answer:

Positive

Step-by-step explanation:

A negative number multiplied by a negative number is always a positive number. So multiplying an even number of negative numbers, will always result in a positive product. For example:
[tex](-1)*(-1)=1\\[/tex]

or

[tex](-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2)=64[/tex]

If you have an odd number of negative numbers, the product will be negative, because not all the negatives would cancel.
