$\frac { -5jk }{ 35{ j }^{ 2 }{ k }^{ 2 } } \\ \\ =-\frac { 5 }{ 35 } \cdot \frac { j }{ { j }^{ 2 } } \cdot \frac { k }{ { k }^{ 2 } } \\ \\ =-\frac { 1 }{ 7 } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ j } \cdot \frac { 1 }{ k } \\ \\ =-\frac { 1 }{ 7jk }$

Remember that:

$\frac { j }{ { j }^{ 2 } } =\frac { 1 }{ j } \cdot \frac { j }{ j } =\frac { 1 }{ j } \cdot 1=\frac { 1 }{ j } \\ \\ \frac { k }{ { k }^{ 2 } } =\frac { 1 }{ k } \cdot \frac { k }{ k } =\frac { 1 }{ k } \cdot 1=\frac { 1 }{ k }$
