what is the reciprocal of -9/11

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

flip the fraction and change to opposite sign: -9/11 reciprocal is 11/9

Nnesha (nnesha):

sign of the reciprocal would stay the same here is an example reciprocal of \[\rm \frac{ a }{b }\] would be \[\rm \frac{ b }{ a }\] just flip the fraction don't change the sign

Nnesha (nnesha):

examples reciprocal of -2 would be -1/2 not 1/2

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 >flip the fraction and change to opposite sign: -9/11 reciprocal is 11/9 You are thinking about slopes of perpendicular lines, I think.

@Sabu You may be confused so let's all be clear: the reciprocal of -9/11 is - 11/9 ---> A number and its reciprocal multiply to +1. The number zero has no reciprocal.
