If one of the zeros of the equation is negative of the other, then the roots will be m and -m

Hence, the sum of roots =mm=0 

The sum of roots, a=0 

Thus there will be no linear involved in the term in the equation. 

Also, the constant term, b = product of the zeroes =m2, will be negative. 

Hence, the quadratic polynomial has no linear term and the constant term is negative.
