------------
That's not an equation.
I can tell, there's no equal sign.
-------------
+%28x%5E3%2F+y%5E2%29%5E-1+%2A+%28x%5E2%2F+y%29%5E-2+
Invert and change the signs of the exponents:
= +%28y%5E2%2Fx%5E3%29+%2A+%28y%2Fx%5E2%29%5E2+
= +%28y%5E2%2Fx%5E3%29+%2A+%28y%5E2%2Fx%5E4%29
= +%28y%5E4%2Fx%5E7%29
