It is equivalent to 1 over 5 to the power of 5, or 1 over 3125.
That is the definition of negative powers.

(-5)2 = 25. This is because multiplying two negative numbers together always leads to a positive number. Think about it like taking a negative amount of negative numbers, which switches them over to positive numbers. -52 = -25, because you are not multiplying negative 5 by negative 5, you are multiplying 5 by 5, and then multiplying that value by negative 1.
1 over 5^2. which is 1/25
(7/5)^2 = 49/25
It is 1 over that number to the same power, but positive. So 4^-5=1/4^5
They are not! 5-3, for example is not 1/52 nor (1/5)2.
(-2/5)3 = - 0.064 -2 / (53) = - 0.016
