What if the slope is negative already what would be the reciprocal?
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.
What is the multiplcative inverse of negative 3?
The reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) of -3 is -1/3.The reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) of -3 is -1/3.The reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) of -3 is -1/3.The reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) of -3 is -1/3.
What is the reciprocal of a negative fraction?
Answer: -a/b is a fraction, its reciprocal is -b/a Why: Let's look at what reciprocal does. Take a fraction like 1/3 and its reciprocal is 3 . That is 1/ (1/3) and if we multiply the number by its reciprocal we get one. So now take -1/3. The question is whether the reciprocal is 3 or -3. If we multiply - 1/3 by 3 we have -1 and if we multiply it by -3 we have 1. The reciprocal of a positive or negative fraction is obtained by switching its numerator and denominator, the sign of the new fraction remains the same. So the answer is -3 and just as with positive fractions, we have the number multiplied by its reciprocal is 1

What is the negative reciprocal of 0?
The negative reciprocal of zero would be any undefined fraction. 0/x=0 negative reciprocal: -(x/0)= undefined.

Negative 3 is the reciprocal so what is the opposite of negative 3?
Actually the reciprocal of any number is that number in the denominator instead of in the numerator. The reciprocal of -3 is 1 over -3.
What is the reciprocal of negative 17 over 3?
the reciprocal would be negative 3 over 7, unless you are trying to find the negative reciprocal, then the answer would be positive 3 over 7. hope this helped you :)
What is the reciprocal of negative 3 over 4?

What is the reciprocal of 4 over 3?
The reciprocal is just the "flipped" version of the fraction. The reciprocal of -4/3 is -3/4 (negative three fourths).

What is the negative reciprocal of -0.1?
The reciprocal of -1/10 is -10, and the negative of -10 is 10 .

What is the recipricol of a negative number?
Assuming you are asking about a reciprocal rather than a recipricol(!), the answer is one divided by the number.So, for example, reciprocal of -3 = 1/(-3) = -1/3.
What is the reciprocal of negative 13 over 8?
To get the reciprocal of a fraction, exchange the numerator and the denominator (the top and bottom parts). The reciprocal of a negative fraction is also negative.
