6/49

Explanation:

-2/7(-3/7)

  1. Multiply the numerators together (top numbers).
    Numerators: -2; -3.
    (-2*-3)=6
    6 is your new numerator.

  2. Multiply the denominators together (bottom numbers).
    Denominators: -7; -7
    (-7*-7)=49
    49 is your new denominator.

  3. You cannot simplify anymore, so this is your answer:
    6/49
