Answer:

-1

Explanation:

When dividing a fraction by another fraction, you use the term 'opposite reciprocal'

As in multiply(opposite) and switch the numerator and denominator(reciprocal

Here you would make the equation -3/2 * 6/9

Multiply the numerators--> -18

Multiply the denominators --> 18

and simplify--> -18/18= -1
