\text{Hey there!}


\text{Since, both of your terms (-42 and -6) are negative, we know that your answer}
\text{will most likely be a POSITIVE number}


\text{Because. negative \& negative makes positive!}


\text{-42}/\text{(-6)}=(-42)/((-6))=42/6=7


\boxed{\boxed{\text{Answer: C. 7}}}\checkmark


\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}
