If a graph has negative weight cycles, what can we say about finding the shortest path?
The shortest path is undefined as we can keep traversing the cycle, decreasing the path length infinitely.
Bellman-Ford algorithm will take significantly longer to find the shortest path.
The graph must be undirected to have negative weight cycles.
Dijkstra's algorithm will always find the correct shortest path.
