Does negative x equal 1 divided by x and if so then what is the proof?

-x does not equal 1/x. There isn't even a solution for x: -x = 1/x
Multiply both sides by x:
-x2=1
x=sqrt(-1)There is no value for the square root of -1, so there is not solution.
(If you are using imaginary numbers, then x=i is a solution to the equation.)
