Hello ^^ I'm new to this site :0 I was wondering if someone could help me with my schoolwork! I have a bit of a habit of overthinking my work, so I just need it checked by someone to make sure I actually am you know, getting it. The problem is -(5)^-1, and the lesson is exponents and exponential Functions. So what I think they are asking is for the fraction. So my choices are -1/5, -5, 5, and 1/5. I'm pretty sure it's 1/5, as you're supposed to turn it into a fraction to make it positive. If this is wrong, please tell me so, but do not give me the answer ^^

that is like -1 * 1/5^1
=-1/5
