Solution
\[\frac{-9}{7}\] \[\boxed{<}\] \[\frac{4}{-7}\]
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)`.
