If c = a x b, then in terms of c what are

-a x b ?

a x -b ?

-a x -b ?

Either work them through explicitly or use the right hand rule.

Now apply this to your problem.

Vectors:

a = ax*i + ay*j + az*k
b = bx*i + by*j + bz*k

What is (a x b)?

If you can't do that, then you need to go learn what the cross product is and how to take one.
