Respuesta :

the reciprocal will be negative

Answer:

The reciprocal of a negative number must itself be a negative number so that the number and its reciprocal multiply to 1.

The reciprocal of a positive or negative fraction is obtained by switching its numerator and denominator, the sign of the new fraction remains the same. ... Notice that when you multiply negative fractions with their reciprocals, the product is always 1 (NOT -1).
