Positive, because the products (-5) (-3) and (-8) (-6) are positive, and the product of two positive numbers is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you multiply 2 negatives, the product will become positive.

The product of - 5 and - 3 is 15.

The product of - 8 and - 6 is 48.

The products are both positive.

15 * 48 = 720

Two positive numbers multiply to a positive product.
