Try using sum() and any():
B =[
1 -1
2 -2
3 3]
numberOfNegativeRows = sum(any(B < 0, 2))

You might use the function find (https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/find.html).
Check the following code:
B = [1,-1; 2,-2; 3,3];
length(find(B<0))

This counts the total number of negative numbers, not the number of rows. You might think what could happen if there are two negative numbers in one or more of the rows (answer in my Answer).
