Answer:

11/4

Explanation:

Reciprocal just means to flip it over.

Fun fact: If you multiply reciprocals, you get 1.

4/11 × 11/4 = 1

Sometimes this can help solve equations.

Another Fun Fact:

Negative Reciprocals are opposite signs and flipped over.

2/3 and -3/2

2/3 × -3/2 = -1

Negative reciprocals are the slopes of perpendicular lines.
