It is the sign convention adopted for expressing one relationship among the physical quantities f, u and v. The convention allows an easy and one formula for both convex and concave mirrors.
Quantities are positive if measured in the direction of the light rays emanating from the object (real or virtual).
Quantities are negative if measured in the opposite direction.
