(-x^(2)y^(2))/(x)/(2y^(0))
Move the minus sign from the numerator to the front of the expression.
(-(x^(2)y^(2))/(x))/(2y^(0))
Reduce the expression -(x^(2)y^(2))/(x) by removing a factor of x from the numerator and denominator.
(-xy^(2))/(2y^(0))
Remove all extra parentheses from the expression.
-(xy^(2))/(2y^(0))
Reduce the expression -(xy^(2))/(2y^(0)) by removing a factor of from the numerator and denominator.
-(xy^(2))/(2)
