Final answer:

To eliminate negative exponents in the given expression, we can follow the rule that negative exponents flip the construction to the denominator.

Step-by-step explanation:

To eliminate negative exponents in the expression (x*y-6) / (y2*x6*y6), we can follow the rule that negative exponents flip the construction to the denominator. So, we can rewrite the expression as (x*y6) / (y2*x6*y6).
