Solution
If the magnification has a minus sign, then the image is real and inverted.
Explanation:
A minus sign (−) in magnification means the image height (h') is negative, indicating it is formed below the principal axis. Any image formed below the principal axis is always inverted (upside down). In spherical mirrors, inverted images are formed by the actual intersection of light rays in front of the mirror, making them real images.
