Negation Elimination

Like the introduction rule for negation, the elimination rule also works by deriving a contradiction. It is basically Negation Introduction in reverse. Instead of starting the sub-proof with a true proposition from which you derive a contradiction, you start with the negation of a proposition, derive a contradiction and then assert the positive of the negated proposition you started out with.
