#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#
