Firstly, start with 1 and divide it by 2 the same number of times as the exponent. Secondly, take the reciprocal of the base and raise it to the positive exponent.

Let's build our intuition about why a^(-b) = 1/(a^b) and how this definition keeps exponent rules consistent. Continue the pattern of decreasing exponents by dividing by 'a', and see how it extends to zero and negative powers. While we're at it, we'll see why a^0 =1.
