So since no one answered the other one please answer this one, worth 20 and WILL AWARD BRAINLIEST BUT ONLY IF THERE IS WORK SHOWN!

Answer:
[tex]-\frac{5}{7}^1^7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
When we multiply exponents, we add them together.
Therefore 8 + 9 which is 17
Now we end up with [tex]-\frac{5}{7}^1^7[/tex]
Hence, (-5/7)^17 is the correct answer.
