Given:

The given value is
-a.

To find:

The multiplicative inverse of
-a.

Solution:

We know that
y is the multiplicative interval of
x if
xy=1.

Let
x be the multiplicative inverse of the given value
-a. Then,


(-a)* x=1

Divide both sides by
-a.


x=(1)/(-a)


x=-(1)/(a)

Therefore, the multiplicative inverse of
-a is
-(1)/(a). Hence the correct option is A.
