Expert Answer
Consider the mass of the hunter be mh, the mass of the bullet be mb, the initial speed of the hunter be uh, the initial speed of the bullet be ub, the final speed of the hunter, that is the recoil speed of the hunter, be vh, and the final speed of the bullet be vb.
Consider the diagram of the hunter-bullet system before and after fire the bullet.

Vh Before fire After fire
The initial speed of the hunter and the bullet will be zero because the hunter and the bullet is at rest before bullet was fired. For recoil speed, the direction of motion of the bullet will be opposite to that of the hunter. Thus, the final speed of the bullet will be taken as negative.
