Answer: -2/7

Explanation: For fraction multiplication, multiply the numerators and then multiply the denominators. This fraction can be reduced by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 10 and 35 using GCF(10,35) = 5. Apply the fractions formula for multiplication and solve. Reduce by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor GCF(10,35) = 5. Therefore: 2/5×−5/7=−2/7
