Explanation:

To multiply the negative of a fraction by the inverse of another fraction, follow these steps:

1. Convert the first fraction to its negative equivalent.

- The negative of 2/3 is -2/3.

2. Find the inverse (or reciprocal) of the second fraction.

- The inverse of 9/7 is 7/9.

3. Multiply the two fractions.

- Multiply the numerators: (-2) * (7) = -14

- Multiply the denominators: (3) * (9) = 27

The result is -14/27.
