    Positive sign for negative velocity and minus sing for positive velocity

    Explanation:

    In the case of the negative velocity, the sign of the acceleration that reduces its magnitude is the positive sign, since being in the opposite direction to the movement indicates a deceleration or braking. In the case of the positive velocity, the sign of the acceleration that reduces its magnitude is the negative sign, since being in the opposite direction to the movement indicates a deceleration or braking. We observe that there will always be a reduction in the magnitude of the velocity if the acceleration goes in the opposite direction.
