Answer:

A 3/-7

Explanation:

As long as you write only one negative sign, it does not matter where you put it. ... Placing the negative sign before the entire fraction (subtracting the fraction) is equivalent to adding the same fraction, but with a negative numerator. So these 2 fractions are equivalent.
