(i) $\frac{-2}{3}$ here, the numerator is -2 which is negative and the denominator is 3 which is positive.

Hence, the fraction is negative.

(ii) $\frac{5}{7}$ here, the numerator is 5 which is positive and the denominator is 7 which is also positive.

Hence, the fraction is positive.

(iii) $\frac{3}{-5}$ here, the numerator is 3 which is positive and the denominator is -5 which is negative.

Hence, the fraction is negative.

(iv) 0 zero is neither positive nor a negative number.

(v) $\frac{6}{11}$ here, the numerator is 6 which is positive and the denominator is 11 which is also positive.

Hence, the fraction is positive.

(vi) $\frac{-2}{-9}$ here, the numerator is -2 which is negative and the denominator is -9 which is also a negative integer.

Hence, the fraction is overall a positive fraction.
