Negative reciprocals are numbers that, when multiplied together, equal -1. They often appear in geometry when dealing with perpendicular lines, as the slopes of two perpendicular lines are always negative reciprocals of each other. Understanding negative reciprocals helps in solving problems involving angles, slopes, and intersections in both math and real-world applications like construction and design. Jump to the questions
