Answer: -600 arcminutes

Explanation:

We know that 1 degree = 60 arc minutes

The given measure of angle =
$-10^(\circ)$

Then , by applying the famous UNITARY METHOD , we multiply 60 to the above measure so that it converts into arc minutes.

Thus ,
$-10^(\circ)=-10*60\text{ arcminutes}$

$-600\text{ arcminutes}$

Hence,
$-10^(\circ)$ is -600 arcminutes.
