How do we get this equality?

\begin{eqnarray*} \binom{n+l-1}{l}q^l=\binom{-n}{l}(-q)^l \end{eqnarray*}

I haven't worked a lot with the binomial coefficient, so I don't really have a feel for these things... I really hope someone would help me with this, even though I haven't shown what I've tried, because I haven't been able to come up with much.

    how did you get the coefficient of n negative – 2017-01-11

Why, that's simple. $$\binom{n+l-1}{l}={\overbrace{(n+l-1)(n+l-2)\dots n}^{\color{red}{l\;terms}}\over l!}$$ On the other hand, $$\binom{-n}{l}={\overbrace{(-n)(-n-1)\dots(-n-l+1)}^{\color{red}{l\;terms}}\over l!}={n(n+1)\dots(n+l-1)\over l!}\cdot(-1)^l$$

    It is one of the basic binomial identity, called "Upper Negation" – 2017-01-11

    Oh, I had completely forgotten to write it out as a quotient with factorials. Thank you a lot for your help. – 2017-01-11
