Answer:
-50a^(11)b^(9)

Explanation:

Any negative exponent can be moved to the other side of the fraction as a positive exponent.
(1)/(x^(-3))=x^3\\ (x^(-3))/(1)=(1)/(x^3)

Thus, simply move the negative exponents from the bottom into the numerator to get. -10a^2*b^4*5a^9*b^5. Then, use the exponent rule to get
-50a^(11)b^(9)

Hope it helps <3
