Best Answer

The reciprocal of any number x is equal to 1/x. In this case, x = -2/7. Therefore the reciprocal of -2/7 is: 1/(-2/7) Now to simplify remember that when you divide by a fraction, it is the same as multiplying by the same number except with the numerator and denominator flipped. In this case: 1/(-2/7) = 1*(-7/2) = -7/2 or -3.5
