$\bold{\red{What\: is \:Reciprocal ??}}$

Reciprocal is the inverse of a value or number.

If a number is$\bold{\purple{ 'x'}}$ then it's reciprocal will be $\bold{\purple{\frac{1}{x}}}$

Remember:. The product of a number and it's reciprocal will always be equal to one.

Example if a number is $\bold{\purple{ 'x'}}$ and it's reciprocal is $\bold{\purple{\frac{1}{x}}}$

Then their product is

$\bold{\purple{{\cancel{x}} \times \frac{1}{{\cancel{x}}} }}= 1$

Now,come to the question:-

The reciprocal of -5 is $\bold{\red{\frac{1}{ - 5} = - 0.2}}$
