Double Negation
Spanish often repeats 'no' for emphasis: the first 'No' answers a question, the second negates the verb.
Estar vs. Ser
Use 'estar' (estoy) for temporary states like emotions; 'ser' would imply a permanent trait.

'Enojado' must agree in gender and number with the subject (enojada, enojados, enojadas).

A comma after the first 'No' separates the short answer from the full clause.
