Hi there!

I believe your answer is:  

$\text{A) }\frac{-7}{9}$

»»————-　★　————-««  

Here’s why:  

• We can apply the rules for products and quotients of values with different signs.

• If the signs of two numbers are the same, then the product/quotient would be positive.
• If the signs are different, the sign of the product/quotient would be negative.

⸻⸻⸻⸻ $\boxed{\text{Equivalent Faction}}\\\\\rightarrow \frac{7}{-9}= -0.77777...... \leftarrow\\\\------------\\\text{Option A: } \frac{-7}{9} = -0.77777......\\\\\text{Option B: } \frac{-7}{-9}= 0.77777......\\\\\boxed{\text{Recall that if two numbers have the same sign then the product or quotient would be positive.}}\\\\\text{Option C: }\frac{7}{-(-9)}=\frac{7}{9} = 0.77777......\\\\\text{Option D: } \frac{-(-7)}{9}=\frac{7}{9} = 0.77777......$⸻⸻⸻⸻

Option A's fraction is equivalent.
