Let's solve each of these problems step by step using the Property of Negative Integer Exponents, which states that \( a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} \).

1. **Rewriting \( 15^{-38} \)**:
\[
15^{-38} = \frac{1}{15^{38}}
\]

2. **Rewriting \( 9^{-23} \)**:
\[
9^{-23} = \frac{1}{9^{23}}
\]

3. **Solving \( 3^{-4} \)**:
\[
3^{-4} = \frac{1}{3^{4}} = \frac{1}{81}
\]

4. **Generating an expression for \( 7^{-3} \cdot 7^{-5} \)**:
\[
7^{-3} \cdot 7^{-5} = 7^{-3 + (-5)} = 7^{-8}
\]
To convert it to positive exponent:
\[
7^{-8} = \frac{1}{7^8}
\]

5. **Generating an expression for \( \frac{5^{-9}}{4^{-12}} \)**:
\[
\frac{5^{-9}}{4^{-12}} = 5^{-9} \cdot 4^{12}
\]
Rewriting \( 5^{-9} \):
\[
= \frac{4^{12}}{5^9}
\]

To summarize:
1. \( 15^{-38} = \frac{1}{15^{38}} \)
2. \( 9^{-23} = \frac{1}{9^{23}} \)
3. \( 3^{-4} = \frac{1}{81} \)
4. \( 7^{-3} \cdot 7^{-5} = \frac{1}{7^8} \)
5. \( \frac{5^{-9}}{4^{-12}} = \frac{4^{12}}{5^9} \)
