positive (+) in one clause, negative (-) in the other
E.g.
1) You have (+) done your homework, haven't (-) you?
2) You come (+) to school by bus, don't (-) you?
3) You saw (+) the burglar, didn't (-) you?
4) You hardly visit (-) your grandmother nowadays, do (+) you?
5) Henry seldom falls (-) ill, does (+) he?
Be careful with cases 4 and 5. The first clause looks positive in each case, but it is actually negative. Explanation: "hardly visit" means "do not often visit" and "seldom falls ill" means "does not often fall ill".
