To determine which expressions of the division of integers will result in a rational number, we need to analyze each option:
1. **negative 2 over 0**: This is -2/0. Division by zero is undefined, so this does not result in a rational number.
2. **0 sixths**: This is 0/6. Any number divided by a non-zero integer is considered a rational number. Since this equals 0, it is a rational number.
3. **negative 5 seventh**: This is -5/7. Negative five divided by seven is a valid division since the denominator is not zero, and it results in a rational number.
4. **4/0**: Similar to the first option, this involves division by zero, which is undefined. Thus, it does not result in a rational number.
Based on this analysis, the expressions that result in rational numbers are:
- **0 sixths (0/6)**
- **negative 5 seventh (-5/7)**
So, select: **0 sixths** and **negative 5 seventh**.
