You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The additive inverse of -5%2F2 is 5%2F2 because that's
what you have to add to -5%2F2 to get the additive identity 0.

-5%2F2 + 5%2F2 = 0

Asking 

"What is the additive inverse of this number?" 

is the same as asking 

"What number must I add to this number to get 0 as an answer?"
