A reciprocal is the number flipped and multiplied by a negative, so 15/1 as a reciprocal is -1/15.
The reciprocal of 2/15 is 15/2.
The reciprocal of 15/50 is 50/15.
I suppose you mean what is an opposite reciprocal? At any rate, we should start there. The opposite reciprocal is -(1/x) so let's take the number 5. The opposite reciprocal would be -1/5. If you want two lines to be perpendicular you must take the original slope of the first line and change it to its opposite reciprocal. For example: y=5x A line perpendicular to this line would be y=-1/5x.
Actually it IS. perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal slopes and parallel lines have the same slope.
The opposite is 8584073464 while the reciprocal is -1/8584073464. If you mean the opposite of the reciprocal of -8584073464 then is 1/8584073464.
We're confident that we could probably answer that if we knew what the "opposite" of a number is. Zero. e.g. The opposite of plus 15 is minus 15 and 15-15 = 0 Why is the opposite of 15 not 1/15 ? It is the reciprocal. Why is the opposite of 15 not 51 ? It is a mirror. Likewise, -15 is the "negative of" 15. The opposite of a positive is always a negative.
opposite is -200 reciprocal is 1/200
Opposite of fractions is called reciprocal.
The answer depends on what you mean by the "opposite" of a number. A reciprocal is one type of opposite: it is the multiplicative opposite.

- 200 would be the opposite of 200 on the number line. 1/200 is the reciprocal of 200.
