Answer:

-5/6

Explanation:

The reason why the reciprocal is -5/6 is because to isolate the variable with a fraction attached is to multiply it by swapping the numerator and denominator. Also making sure that if the number is a negative, to multiply the number by another negative to cancel it out.
