Question

What is the additive inverse of $-\frac{5}{9}$?

Answer 1

Additive inverse.

The additive inverse of a given number is a number that, when added to a given number, yields zero.

Let $n$ is a number then, the additive inverse of this number is $-n$, because $n+(-n)=0$

The additive inverse of $-\frac{5}{9}$ is $\frac{5}{9}$ because $-\frac{5}{9}+\frac{5}{9}=0$.

Hence, the additive inverse of $-\frac{5}{9}$ is $\frac{5}{9}$.
