What is the negative reciprocal of a slope?
The negative reciprocal of any gradient gives the gradient of the line perpendicular to it. If you had a line of gradient 2, the negative reciprocal would be -1/2 Just change the sign on the number and flip the number/fraction to get the negative reciprocal.
The reciprocal of a number plus the reciprocal of twice the number equalsone half Find the number?
The reciprocal of a number plus the reciprocal of twice the number equals Find the number. 1/2 find the number
What is the negative reciprocal of -3?
The reciprocal of a number is 1 divide by that number - the reciprocal of -3 is 1/(-3), or -1/3. So, the negative reciprocal of -3 would be 1/3 (without the minus sign).
What is reciprocal of 15?
A reciprocal is the number flipped and multiplied by a negative, so 15/1 as a reciprocal is -1/15.
Why is the reciprocal of the opposite of a nonzero number the opposite of the reciprocal of the number?
Taking the reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) does not affect the positive or negative status of an integer. So the reciprocal of a negative number is negative and the reciprocal of a positive number is positive. The reciprocals will be opposites (positive/negative) just as the original numbers were.
Why will sin and cosecant have the same sign?
The cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine function. Now, the reciprocal of a positive number is positive, and the reciprocal of a negative number is negative.
What is the negative reciprocal of a slope?

Is the number positive if the power is negative?
It does not work that way. A negative power is simply the reciprocal. So that x-a = 1/xa The reciprocal is negative or positive according to whether the number itself is negative or positive. [And, if the number is 0, the reciprocal is not defined.]
When you get the reciprocal of and negative number will it still be negative?
Yes.
What postive number is its own reciprocal?
1 is the only positive number that is its own reciprocal. -1 is the negative number that is its own reciprocal.
The reciprocal of a number plus the reciprocal of twice the number equalsone half Find the number?
The reciprocal of a number plus the reciprocal of twice the number equals Find the number. 1/2 find the number
Negative 3 is the reciprocal so what is the opposite of negative 3?
Actually the reciprocal of any number is that number in the denominator instead of in the numerator. The reciprocal of -3 is 1 over -3.
What is the negative reciprocal of -3?
The reciprocal of a number is 1 divide by that number - the reciprocal of -3 is 1/(-3), or -1/3. So, the negative reciprocal of -3 would be 1/3 (without the minus sign).
How do you divide a negative number by a positive fraction?
You multiply the negative number by the reciprocal of the fraction.
What is the reciprocal of negative 17 over 3?
the reciprocal would be negative 3 over 7, unless you are trying to find the negative reciprocal, then the answer would be positive 3 over 7. hope this helped you :)
