Is this effect multiplicative (like if an enemy has 50% resistance and you have a -50% passive, it becomes 25% resistance) or additive (50% resist + -50% passive which makes the resistance 0%)?

It's directly subtracted from their "increased phys reduction" (which is fantastic terminology...).

it's subtracted from "Physical Damage Reduction".

"increased phys reduction" (or any equivalent) doesn't appear anywhere in the game - there are no "increased" modifiers that apply to Physical Damage Reduction at all, only + and - modifiers.

Physical Damage Reduction cannot be below zero.
