1st opposite numbers mean one is "positive" the other is "negative"
For example: 2 and -2 are opposites
2nd reciprocal means you flip the fraction.
For example: 3/2 is the reciprocal of 2/3
----------------------
you try out..... take 2/3 and -(2/3), these are opposites
now what the reciprocal of 2/3 and what's the reciprocal of -(2/3)?
Are they also opposites?
