Here is the structure of questions tags:

positive main clause → negative question tag
Example:
You are from Canada, aren't you?

negative main clause → positive question tag
Example:
You aren't from Canada, are you?

In the sentence you are referrring to the main clause is negative, that's why the question tag has to be positive:

She's definitely not coming is she?

Dear Torsten,
You gave us clue as like below :
positive main clause → negative question tag
negative main clause → positive question tag
How about some sentences like this (question tags (2)
A : I want you to give me some more money
B : Oh you do, do you (not negative)
A : I can't take any more
B : Oh you can't, can you (all negative)
A : She hates the sight of him
B : She does, does she ( not negative)
etc.... thank you

Dear Torsten.
About exercise question tag, I'm confused, because some answers were only positive way:
A-She hates the sight of him.
B-She does, does she? Wouldn't be: She does, doesn't she? Would be ?
I'm look forward your answer.
Cheers.
J. Alberto.
