-40 degree 36’ into decimal degree notation 

To convert \(-40^\circ 36'\) into decimal degree notation:

1. The degrees part is \(-40^\circ\).
2. The minutes part is \(36'\). There are 60 minutes in a degree, so we convert the minutes to decimal degrees by dividing by 60:

\[
\frac{36}{60} = 0.6
\]

3. Combine the degrees and the converted minutes:

\[
-40 + (-0.6) = -40.6^\circ
\]

Thus, \(-40^\circ 36'\) in decimal degree notation is \(-40.6^\circ\).
