1. The problem asks to write the expression $-9x^{-1}$ without negative exponents and without parentheses.
2. Recall the rule for negative exponents: $a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$ where $a \neq 0$.
3. Apply this rule to $x^{-1}$:
$$x^{-1} = \frac{1}{x}$$
4. Substitute back into the expression:
$$-9x^{-1} = -9 \times \frac{1}{x}$$
5. Simplify the multiplication:
$$-9 \times \frac{1}{x} = \frac{-9}{x}$$
6. The expression without negative exponents and parentheses is:
$$\frac{-9}{x}$$
This is the final answer.
