To get that type of expression into one with positive exponent, use this form:

a-n = 1/(aⁿ) where a is nonzero.

Then, y-10 = 1/(y10) by the form we use!

What does a negative minus a negative equal?

Suppose x and y are two POSITIVE numbers so that -x and -y are negative. Then a negative minus a negative = (-x) - (-y) = -x +y If x > y the answer is negative If x = y the answer is zero If x < y the answer is positive


What will happen to the slope of a line if the line is shifted so that the y intercept increases and the x intercept remains the same?

The answer depends on the signs of the original intercepts.x negative, y negative: negative slope becomes less negative and could go positive.x negative, y positive: positive slope becomes greater.x positive, y negative: positive slope becomes less positive and could go negative.x positive, y positive: negative slope becomes more negative.For 1 and 3, the slope changes sign when the y intercept crosses the origin.


How many quadrants in the cartesian plane?

The Cartesian plane is divided into four quadrants. These quadrants are determined by the signs of the x and y coordinates: the first quadrant (positive x, positive y), the second quadrant (negative x, positive y), the third quadrant (negative x, negative y), and the fourth quadrant (positive x, negative y).


What quadrant of a coordinate plane it the region located?

The top left quadrant is II (2) (x is negative, y is positive) The top right quadrant is I (1) (x is positive, y is positive) The bottom left quadrant is III (3) (x is negative, y is negative) The bottom right quadrant is IV (4) (x is positive, y is negative)


Is the y-axis negative or positive?

It is both because above the origin it is positive and below the origin it is negative

When is it difference of a positive and negative integer positive?

The difference between a positive integer and a negative integer is ALWAYS positive.Suppose X and Y are positive so that -Y is negative,The the difference two numbers, A and B is A - B so the difference between X and (-Y) is X - (-Y) which equals X + Y. The sum of two positive numbers is always positive.

What is a negative minus a ngeative?

a negative + negative = negative (ex. -10+-10=-20) a positive + negative = a positive or a negative depending on how high the negative number is (ex1. 10+-5=5 , ex2. 10+-15=-5) a positive + positive = a positive "obviously" (ex. 2+2=4) a negative - negative = positive (ex. -5--10=5) because the minus sign and the negative sign automatically turn into an addition sign.
