Explanation:

Step1: Apply the quotient rule for exponents

The quotient rule states that $\frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m - n}$ when $a
eq0$. Here, $a = y$, $m = 19$, and $n = 17$.
So, $\frac{y^{19}}{y^{17}}=y^{19 - 17}$

Step2: Simplify the exponent

Calculate $19-17 = 2$. So, $y^{19 - 17}=y^{2}$

Answer:

$y^{2}$
