Negative reciprocal is something you use in math that often times help you find a perpendicular line to an equation. ex: for an equation with a slope of 5x, the recriprocal would be -1/5x. what you do is you flip flop the bottom and the top, 1/5x. That is the reciprocal alone and to make it a negative reciprocal you just simply add the negative sign.

What is the negative reciprocal of -0.1?
The reciprocal of -1/10 is -10, and the negative of -10 is 10 .
Can a negative slope a have negative reciprocal?
Yes.
Why will sin and cosecant have the same sign?
The cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine function. Now, the reciprocal of a positive number is positive, and the reciprocal of a negative number is negative.
What is the negative reciprocal of -5?
-1/5 is the reciprocal of -5
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 9?
-0.1111... The definition of reciprocal is 1/ and so you are doing the same as 1/-9. oh my gosh this is 9 years old
What is the negative reciprocal of -0.1?
The reciprocal of -1/10 is -10, and the negative of -10 is 10 .
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 negative reciprocal of 0?
The negative reciprocal of zero would be any undefined fraction. 0/x=0 negative reciprocal: -(x/0)= undefined.
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.
Why is the reciprocal of the opposite of a nonzero number the opposite of the reciprocal of the number?
Taking the reciprocal (multiplicative inverse) does not affect the positive or negative status of an integer. So the reciprocal of a negative number is negative and the reciprocal of a positive number is positive. The reciprocals will be opposites (positive/negative) just as the original numbers were.
What is the negative reciprocal of a slope?
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.
Why is dividing by a number the same as multiplying by its reciprocal?
That is the definition of reciprocal.
Can a negative slope a have negative reciprocal?
Yes.
Why will sin and cosecant have the same sign?
The cosecant is the reciprocal of the sine function. Now, the reciprocal of a positive number is positive, and the reciprocal of a negative number is negative.
What is the negative reciprocal of -5?
-1/5 is the reciprocal of -5
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 :)
