Answer:


(48)/(-17), (-48)/(17), -2(14)/(17) (the last 3 options)

Step-by-step explanation:
As long as the negative is in either the numerator or the denominator (if it is in both then it is positive because the negatives cancel out), the entire fraction will be negative, so both
(48)/(-17) and
(-48)/(17) work as answers. The last option is just a simplified version of the fraction.

Answer: The bottom three:
(48)/(-17),
(-48)/(17), and -2
(14)/(17)

Explanation:

The first option is not because the numerator and denominator are flipped.

The second option is not because this one is positive while the one given is negative.

The third option is equivalent.

The fourth option is equivalent.

The fifth option is equivalent because - 48 / 17 = -2
(14)/(17) when turned into a mixed number.
