The expression is an xy⁻⁶ /y²x⁶ algebraic expression

The equivalent expression of x y⁻⁶ /y²x⁶ is 1/x⁵y⁸

<h3>How to determine the expression?</h3>

The algebraic expression is given as:

x y⁻⁶ /y²x⁶

Apply the law of indices

x¹⁻⁶ y⁻⁶⁻²

Evaluate the differences

x⁻⁵ y⁻⁸

Rewrite as:

1/x⁵y⁸

Hence, the equivalent expression is 1/x⁵y⁸
