The answer would be negative 9 (-9). For the explanation, negative six (-6) is a two-thirds (2/3) of a whole. which is 3/3. So what you have to do is negative six (-6) multiple it to the denominator which is 3 so it will be negative eighteen (-18) then divide it to the numerator which is 2 and it will look like this -18/2. So the answer will be negative nine (-9). I hope my answer and explanation helps you.
