Answer:


(2)/(3)

Explanation:

To reduce a fraction, you have to divide both numbers by the same number. So, what number can we divide both numbers by?

We can divide it by 2. And when we do, the -4 becomes a -2 and the -6 becomes a -3. Usually, we can make it go smaller, but in this case we can't. But, you also have to cancel out the signs, because they are both negative. So 2/3 is the final answer.
