Answer

$-\dfrac{2x^3}{y(x-y)}$

Work Step by Step

The given expression, $ \dfrac{\dfrac{-2x}{x-y}}{\dfrac{y}{x^2}} ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} \dfrac{-2x}{x-y}\div\dfrac{y}{x^2} \\\\= \dfrac{-2x}{x-y}\cdot\dfrac{x^2}{y} \\\\= \dfrac{-2x^3}{y(x-y)} \\\\= -\dfrac{2x^3}{y(x-y)} .\end{array}
