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).
negative one. 1/1 = 1 a positive/negative = negative
It would be the negative of the negative reciprocal. And since the negative of a negative is a posivie, it is the positive reciprocal.. For example, if the slope was -3, the other would be 1/3.
The negative reciprocal of a non-zero number x, is -1/x. And the negative reciprocal of that is -1/(-1/x) = -1*(x/-1) = x
1/-1 = -1
The reciprocal of -1/10 is -10, and the negative of -10 is 10 .
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).

The negative reciprocal of a non-zero number x, is -1/x. And the negative reciprocal of that is -1/(-1/x) = -1*(x/-1) = x
1/-1 = -1
The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal of the slope of a line. In this case, - (1 / -1) = 1.
-1/5 is the reciprocal of -5
A reciprocal is the number flipped and multiplied by a negative, so 15/1 as a reciprocal is -1/15.
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.
1 is the only positive number that is its own reciprocal. -1 is the negative number that is its own reciprocal.
-1/4
