Given:


(-6)/(0)

To simplify:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

The division problem is turned into a multiplication problem by turning the divisor upside down that is switching its numerator with its denominator and changing the division symbol to a multiplication symbol at the same time.

That is,


(a)/(b)=a÷b=a*(1)/(b)

According to the given problem,


\begin{gathered} (-6)/(0)=-6*(1)/(0) \\ =\infty \\ =Undefined \end{gathered}

Final answer:

The answer is undefined.
