Answer:

0 (zero)

Explanation:

It is the only Rational number, which is its own additive inverse.

Additive inverse of ….

2 is -2

-3 is 3

7/9 is -7/9

-1 is 1

1 is -1

I gave a few examples above, each is additive inverse of the other because their sum = 0. For finding additive inverse we only need to change its sign., and if we need both numbers equal, it has to be 0. Since 0+0 = 0.

Hope this Helps!!!
