Answer:
-1
Explanation:
-5^2 is -25 because you have to do exponents first, so 5^2 is 25. Add a negative symbol there, it becomes -25.
For the denominator, we do the exact same process, except a little different. Since there are parentheses around the negative five, we have to apply the negative symbol on the 5 before we do the exponents. After, we do -5^2 which is 25 because when you are multiplying negative, you always get a positive.
When we are all done with that, we put the numerator over the denominator to get -25/25, which is equivalent to -1.
