Solution

Additive inverse.
An additive inverse of a given number is, a number when added to a given number yields zero.
Let $n$ is a number, then additive inverse will be $- n$ because $n + (- n) = 0$ .
Therefore,
The additive inverse of $- \frac{5}{9}$ will be $\frac{5}{9}$ because $- \frac{5}{9} + \frac{5}{9} = 0$ .
Hence, the additive inverse of $- \frac{5}{9}$ is $\frac{5}{9}$ .
