    Answer: It's Negative

    Explanation: Just did it on USA test prep

    When two waves come close to one another, their effects add together ... In fact, if the two waves (with the same amplitude) are shifted by exactly half a wavelength ... The resulting combined wave will have no crests or troughs at all, and will ... That means that there will always be constructive interference at that spot, therefore its negative.
