Not necessarily.
Negatives are called opposites, or additive inverses. Inverses is much more general. For example, the inverse of an exponent is a logarithm.

How a negative affects a multiplicative inverse?
A number and its multiplicative inverse have the same sign. So if one is negative, so is the other.
Another name for additive inverse?
As far as positive numbers are concerned, the additive inverse of a positive number is a negative number with the same magnitude (i.e. the additive inverse of 5 is -5). It would be wrong to simply say that "negative" and "additive inverse" are correct, because the additive inverse of a negative number is a positive number.
Is the additive inverse of any rational number is negative?
No. The additive inverse of zero or a negative rational number is not negative.
Multiplicative inverse of a negative number?
The multiplicative inverse is the negative of the reciprocal of the positive value. Thus the multiplicative inverse of -7 is -1/7.
Is the inverse of a negative number a negative number?
Yes

How do you get the additive inverse for a negative denominator?
It is the same number without the negative sign.
What word means the same as the additive inverse of a number?
The "additive inverse" is essentially the NEGATIVE of a number. The term is used to avoid confusion when taking the negative of a negative integer. The additive inverse of any number n is (-1)n.

Is the opposite of a negative number always sometimes or never a negative number?
never a negative number * * * * * ... true if, by opposite, you mean the additive inverse. However, the multplicative inverse is also an opposite. And the multiplicative inverse of a negative number is always negative.

What does additive inverse look like?
In mathematics, the additive inverse of a number a is the number that, when added to a, yields zero. This number is also known as the opposite. For a real number, it reverses its sign: the opposite to a positive number is negative, and the opposite to a negative number is positive.
What is the multiplicative inverse of negative 9?
-9; the multiplicative inverse: -1/9
What is additive inverse in math terms?
negative of a number gives its additive inverse
