There is no difference between the Inverse Property of Addition and Additive Inverse.

Since the result of the addition of two numbers is zero, therefore they both are called additive inverses. This property is called the inverse property of addition. In other words, the inverse property of addition defines that if any number is added to its opposite number, the sum should be zero.
