\frac{-1}{a^{2}+ab}\times \frac{b^{2}-a^{2}}{ab}
Use the distributive property to multiply a by a+b.
\frac{-\left(b^{2}-a^{2}\right)}{\left(a^{2}+ab\right)ab}
Multiply \frac{-1}{a^{2}+ab} times \frac{b^{2}-a^{2}}{ab} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
\frac{-\left(a+b\right)\left(-a+b\right)}{b\left(a+b\right)a^{2}}
Factor the expressions that are not already factored.
\frac{-\left(-a+b\right)}{ba^{2}}
Cancel out a+b in both numerator and denominator.
\frac{a-b}{ba^{2}}
Expand the expression.
