To multiply these two expressions, we can use the distributive property. The product is 5x^2y^7.

To multiply these two expressions, we can use the distributive property. We multiply the terms within the parentheses and combine like terms if applicable.

Multiply the coefficients: (-15) * (-1/3) = 5

Multiply the x terms: x * x = x^2

Multiply the y terms: y^4 * y^3 = y^(4+3) = y^7

Putting it all together, the product is 5x^2y^7.
