$\frac{6}{49}$ $6/49$

$- \frac{2}{7} (- \frac{3}{7})$ $-2/7(-3/7)$

Multiply the numerators together (top numbers).
Numerators: $- 2; - 3$ $-2; -3$ .
$(- 2 \cdot - 3) = 6$ $(-2*-3)=6$
$6$ $6$ is your new numerator.
Multiply the denominators together (bottom numbers).
Denominators: $- 7; - 7$ $-7; -7$
$(- 7 \cdot - 7) = 49$ $(-7*-7)=49$
49 is your new denominator.
You cannot simplify anymore, so this is your answer:
$\frac{6}{49}$ $6/49$
