The answer is 4/7

4 5
- * -
5 7
Multiply across so 4*5 is 20 and 5*7 is 35
You can simplify that by 5 so the answer would be positive 4/7.
Remember a negative times a negative is positive and a positive times a positive is a positive.
Different signs like negative times a positive would result in a negative answer.
