A reciprocal is the number you have to multiply a given number by to get 1. Ex) you have to multiply 2 by 1/2 to get 1. therefore the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2
As implied above, a property of two reciprocals is that their product equals 1.
Another name for "reciprocal" is "multiplicative inverse."

What is the product of two numbers that are opposite reciprocals?
I have a feeling that you wrote "opposite reciprocals"where you only needed to write "reciprocals".Their product is ' 1 '.
Do you reduce reciprocals?
Yes.
What are the operations of real numbers?
There are many possible operations. The basic ones are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. To that you can add reciprocals, exponentiation, logarithms, trigonometric, hyperbolic. In fact, you can define your own operations. For example a ~ b = 3a - 2b2 is an operation.
If two lines are their slopes are negative reciprocals?
If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.If the lines are perpendicular, their slopes are negative reciprocals.
Is subtraction an identity property?
Subtraction is not an identity property but it does have an identity property. The identity is 0 and each number is its own inverse with respect to subtraction. However, this is effectively the same as the inverse property of addition so there is no real need to define it as a separate property.
