Answer:

-1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Reciprocal for a number x, denoted by 1/x or x⁻¹, is a number which when multiplied by x yields the multiplicative identity, 1.

So,

here x = (-5)

Reciprocal = 1/x

=> Reciprocal =  1/(-5)

=> Reciprocal =  -1/5 (for standard forms, denominator can’t be negative)
