Answer:
they are multiplicative inverses because to find the inverse of a number you change it from positive to negative or vice versa, and you have to change it to it's inverse. to do this you have to put it in fraction form if it isn't already (so 5 would be 5/1) and flip it (5/1 flipped would be 1/5)
Step-by-step explanation:
They are reciprocals, that is why they are multiplicative inverse.
If we have a number, then reciprocal of that number is called multiplicative inverse of the number.
Example : If m be a number then 1/m is its multiplicative number.
Here the number be -5.
Reciprocal of this number is -1/5
We know that reciprocal of a number is called multiplicative inverse.
So, -5 & -1/5 are multiplicative inverse of each other.
