Answer 1

\[\frac{-9}{7}\] \[\boxed{<}\] \[\frac{4}{-7}\]

Explanation:

Given rational numbers are `(-9)/7` and `4/(-7)`.

Since, both fractions have same denominator, the fraction which have greater numerator is greater.

But in a negative number, the numerator which is smaller is the greater number.

Hence, `(-9)/7 < 4/(-7)`.
