How do you know if a car has a negative or positive grounded battery?

Find the cable that is connected directly to the frame or sub-frame of the car. If it is red, then Positive is ground; If it is black, then Negative is ground. More than likely (but not in all cases) the electrical system is Negative ground.

Your battery died on your 1999 Pontiac transport and you don't know where the negative end to the battery is to jump start it?
Connect positive to positive post (red) on the battery and connect the negative to a place on the engine away from the battery.
How they know that cable of battery is positive and the other one is negative?
I assume you're asking how can you tell which is positive and which is negative? The red cable is positive in the black cable is negative. But if they are not color-coded the positive battery post is slightly larger than the negative battery post. If you try to connect the negative cable to the positive post it would be a tight fit and if you connect the positive cable to the negative post it would be loose.
How to recharge a motorcycle battery?

Why does one end of the battery have a negative symbol on it?
because batteries works on the principle of electron charge and an electron can have either a more positive or negative charge but the electron wants to have an equal amount of pos. and neg. charge so when batteries are simply they pull the positive charge to one side and negative to the other side and when they come together with a conductor(wire) it creates a current which does the "work" for you. The voltage of the battery pretty much lets you know how strongly the battery wants to create equality between each side thus more current.
6 divided by negative 1?
-6 Yes the answer would be -6. But in order to get that answer you must know this: positive divided by a positive = positive positive divided by a negative = a negative negative divided by a positive = a negative negative divided by a negative = positive (also note: it's the same formula for multiplying)
