Let's solve the expression step by step:

The expression given is: \[ (-4) \times \left(\frac{7}{5}\right) \times \left(-\frac{3}{4}\right) \div \left(\frac{7}{15}\right) \]

  1. Multiply the first two terms:

\[ (-4) \times \left(\frac{7}{5}\right) = -\frac{28}{5} \]

  1. Multiply the result by the next term:

\[ \left(-\frac{28}{5}\right) \times \left(-\frac{3}{4}\right) = \frac{28 \times 3}{5 \times 4} = \frac{84}{20} \]

Now we can simplify \(\frac{84}{20}\):

\[ \frac{84}{20} = \frac{21}{5} \quad \text{(Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4)} \]

  1. Now divide by \(\frac{7}{15}\):

Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:

\[ \frac{21}{5} \div \left(\frac{7}{15}\right) = \frac{21}{5} \times \frac{15}{7} \]

  1. Multiply the fractions:

\[ = \frac{21 \times 15}{5 \times 7} = \frac{315}{35} \]

Now we simplify \(\frac{315}{35}\):

\[ \frac{315 \div 35}{35 \div 35} = 9 \]

Therefore, the final answer is:

\[ \boxed{9} \]
