Answer: -600 arcminutes

Explanation:

We know that 1 degree = 60 arc minutes

The given measure of angle =
-10^(\circ)

Then , by applying the famous UNITARY METHOD , we multiply 60 to the above measure so that it converts into arc minutes.

Thus ,
-10^(\circ)=-10*60\text{ arcminutes}


-600\text{ arcminutes}

Hence,
-10^(\circ) is -600 arcminutes.
