(3x^{-3})^2(-2xy)}

The square (²) can be distributed to each factor inside those parentheses.
3² = 3 × 3 = 9
as for the x^-3, we want to multiply our exponents together, leaving x^-6.

(9x^{-6})(-2xy)

Note that since multiplication is commutative/associative, we can multiply these together in whatever order to simplify.

The x on the right can be rewritten as x¹. Multiply that and x^-6 together to get x^-5. (we just add the exponents)
As for the 9 and -2, multiply those together to get -18.

Now we have -18x^{-5}y.

Lastly, if you don't want a negative exponent in your answer:
It can be flipped to the bottom because of this property:

x^{-n}=\frac{1}{x^n}

This leaves us with \boxed{\frac{-18y}{x^5}}
