Step 1.1

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$y^{- 6 + 5} \cdot y^{0}$

Step 1.2

Add $- 6$ and $5$ .

$y^{- 1} \cdot y^{0}$

Step 2

Simplify $y^{- 1} \cdot y^{0}$ .

$y^{- 1}$

Step 3

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$\frac{1}{y}$
