Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

because x>0 that means x has to be positive. Since y<0 y has to be negative. Knowing that, you have a few choices. I chose to plug in a number for the variable. I chose x=2 and y=-4.

here are the steps for how C works:

2/2 - 4 > -4/2 - 4

1 - 4 > -2 - 4

-3 > -6

This statement is true. I use this method a lot for checking my answers.

Hope this helped!
