In order to find the quadrants of y = -2/x, let's choose a positive and a negative value of x, then we calculate the corresponding values of y and check the quadrants:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=-2\colon \\ y=-\frac{2}{-2}=1 \\ \\ x=2\colon \\ y=-\frac{2}{2}=-1 \end{gathered}[/tex]The point (-2, 1) is in quadrant II (negative x and positive y) and the point (2, -1) is in quadrant IV (positive x and negative y).
Therefore the correct option is C.
