Question

The Gibbs free energy equation can be used to predict whether a reaction will proceed spontaneously. For which relative values of ΔH and ΔS will a spontaneous reaction always occur?

 

Correct answer: a negative delta H with positive delta S. Please draw me a table or something and help me understand why that is the correct answer. I need step by step help. Anything that break down this information so I could use for my next problems. Thank you.
