Answer:

less; below

Explanation:

We can change both fractions to improper fractions first for easier comparison.

-
(7)/(5) = -

-1
(1)/(5) = -
(5)/(5) -

-1
(1)/(5) = -
(6)/(5)

As you can see, -
(7)/(5) has a higher absolute value but both fractions are negative so it has a lesser value than -
(6)/(5) and thus would also be below -
(6)/(5).
