A number and its multiplicative inverse have the same sign. So if one is negative, so is the other.
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.
No. The additive inverse of zero or a negative rational number is not negative.
The multiplicative inverse is the negative of the reciprocal of the positive value. Thus the multiplicative inverse of -7 is -1/7.
Yes

It is the same number without the negative sign.
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.
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.
Direct relationships and inverse relationships. In direct relationships, two physical quantities change in the same direction (e.g., as one increases, the other also increases). In inverse relationships, two physical quantities change in opposite directions (e.g., as one increases, the other decreases).
No. The additive inverse of zero or a negative rational number is not negative.
The multiplicative inverse is the negative of the reciprocal of the positive value. Thus the multiplicative inverse of -7 is -1/7.
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.

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.
The additive inverse of any negative number is the same number with the minus sign removed. In this instance, the additive inverse of -84 is 84.
