Answer:

[tex]y^7[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want to simplify the expression [tex]y^9 \cdot y^{-2}[/tex], we have to note that exponent rules state that [tex]x^a \cdot x^b = x^{a+b}[/tex].

This means that if we add the exponents, that will be what we raise y to the power of.

[tex]9 + -2 = 9-2 = 7[/tex]

So [tex]y^7[/tex].

Hope this helped!
