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.
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
Which quadrant is y and -y?
y is positive in quadrants I and II and negative in III and IV.
Negative minus a negative?
Positive minus a negative = positive plus a positive two negatives make a positive 3- (-1) = 3 + 1 = 4 5- (-7) = 12
What are the x and y for each quadrant on a graph?
Quadrant I: x positive, y positive. Quadrant II: x negative, y positive. Quadrant III: x negative, y negative. Quadrant II: x positive, y negative.
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 is a negative minus a negative?
A negative minus a negative turns the latter into a plus positive,for example -6 minus -3 would be :-6 ++ 3 = -3A minus negative always turns into a plus positive...To get more Specific:Suppose x and y are two POSITIVE numbers so that -x and -y are negative. Then a negative minus a negative = (-x) - (-y) = -x +yIf x > y the answer is negativeIf x = y the answer is zeroIf x < y the answer is positive

Is y coordinate always a negative number?
No, the y-coordinate can be positive or negative.
What are the signs of the coordinate in every quadrant?
Quadrant I: Top Right: x positive, y positive Quadrant II: Top Left: x negative, y positive Quadrant III: Bottom Left: x negative, y negative Quadrant IV: Bottom Right: x positive, y 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 do you get when you minus a negative from a positive?
x - -y = x + y.

A positive is divided by a negative is the answer negative or positive?
previous answer: "the answer is - (negative)"I'd also like to add some steps and explainations to that.First, lets set a variable for the number---lets say x& y. If the positive number is x, and the negative one is y(lets make it -y to make it more clear), then the answer will equal x/-y. You can also write it into x/-y=x*1/-y or x*-(1/y). Since a negative number times a positive number will always be negative, then no matter what number you put for x or y, the answer will always be negative.The result will be negative.
