Write Using Positive Exponents (y^-5)/(y^-2)

$\frac{y^{- 5}}{y^{- 2}}$

Move $y^{- 5}$ to the denominator in $\frac{y^{- 5}}{y^{- 2}}$ using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$\frac{1}{y^{- 2} y^{5}}$

Move $y^{- 2}$ to the numerator in $\frac{y^{- 5}}{y^{- 2}}$ using the negative exponent rule $\frac{1}{b^{- n}} = b^{n}$ .

$\frac{y^{2}}{y^{5}}$
