It depends on how it is used.
As a "dash", it would separate thoughts, much as a period or semi-colon.
As a hyphen, it separates two words that, when joined, are NOT a compound word, much as a "semi-colon"
As a "minus sign", it indicates the operation of subtraction in math. 57 - 12 (which represents 45).
