If you have a minus power in the denominator, the base and power go to the numerator. The number in front does not change where it is.


`(y^2)/(4x^-5)`

goes into something that looks like this

`(y^2x^5)/(4)`

When the minus power is in the numerator, the power and the base go into the denominator.


`(3x^-3)/(y)`

Becomes


`(3)/(x^3y)`

Numbers can do the same thing. if they have -powers associated with them.


`(4^-3)/(5^-2)`
becomes

`(5^2)/(4^3)`
