To apply the property of negative integer exponents, we will rewrite the expression using positive exponents.
The property states that for any nonzero number "a" and negative integer "n", "a^-n" is equal to 1 divided by "a^n".
So, for the expression 5^-9/4^-12, we can rewrite it as (1/5^9)/(1/4^12).
Simplifying further, we can multiply the numerator and denominator by the reciprocal of the denominator to get (4^12)/(5^9).
Therefore, the expression equivalent to 5^-9/4^-12 with positive exponents only is 4^12/5^9.
