It seems like you're asking about the expression \((-6) \cdot y^k = y^{14}\) for some value of \(k\). Is that correct? To solve for \(k\):
1. Start with the equation:
\[
(-6) \cdot y^k = y^{14}
\]
2. Divide both sides by \(y^k\) (assuming \(y \neq 0\)):
\[
-6 = y^{14 - k}
\]
This suggests that the left side, \(-6\), must equal the right side. However, since \(y^{14 - k}\) is a power of \(y\) and can only be positive (or zero), there can't be a solution in the real numbers unless specific values for \(y\) are defined.
If you meant something different or needed additional assistance with a different aspect of the expression, please clarify!
