Here is my process for solving this.
First I drew arrows that indicated I was moving the whole triangle 5 units to the left.
*Look at first attachment*
Then I drew another triangle using those new points. (The new triangle is in pink)
*Look at second attachment*
Then I drew arrows that moved this new triangle 4 units up. (The new arrows are in pink)
*Look at third attachment*
Then I drew the new triangle in blue using the new points.
*Look at fourth attachment*
Then I mirrored / reflected the triangle over the x axis (the horizontal line) In green.
*Look at fifth attachment*
The fifth attachment in green is the final product! Hope that helps.

Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Add the numerator fractions.
2/5 + 3/10
Here we have to find LCD, the LCD of 5 and 10 is 10
(2*2) + 3 4 + 3
Therefore, 2/5 + 3/10 = --------------- = ------------------
10 10
= 7/10
Step 2: Now substitute 2/5 + 3/10 = 7/10 in the given fraction, we get
7/10
= ----------
-7/9
If we have fraction over fraction, we have to find the reciprocal of denominator fraction and multiply.
The reciprocal of -7/9 is -9/7
Step 3: Now multiply 13/10 and -9/7
= (7/10) x (-9/7)
= -9/10
=-9/10
The answer is -
