Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When dividing by a negative number, the result is always negative. Therefore, the answer is negative. Additionally, we know that $14$ is a multiple of $7$, so we can simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by $7$. This gives us $\frac{2}{-14} = \frac{1}{-7}$. Therefore, the answer is $-\frac{1}{7}$, which is choice C.
