Respuesta :

opposite will just be the negative of it, so just slap a - in front of it, -500.

reciprocal will just be the value upside-down,    [tex]\bf -500\implies \cfrac{-500}{1}\implies -\stackrel{\textit{reciprocal}}{\cfrac{1}{500}}[/tex]
The reciprocal of 500 is 1/500
The opposite to 1/500 is - 1/500

So the opposite and the reciprocal of the number 500 is  -1/500
