The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the multiplication property of rational numbers demonstrated by the equation: \[ \frac{-7}{5} \times \frac{5}{-7} = 1 \] ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Rational Numbers**: We have two rational numbers: - The first number is \(\frac{-7}{5}\) - The second number is \(\frac{5}{-7}\) 2. **Understand the Multiplication**: We are multiplying these two rational numbers together: \[ \frac{-7}{5} \times \frac{5}{-7} \] 3. **Multiply the Numerators and Denominators**: When multiplying fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together: \[ \text{Numerator: } -7 \times 5 = -35 \] \[ \text{Denominator: } 5 \times -7 = -35 \] Therefore, we have: \[ \frac{-35}{-35} \] 4. **Simplify the Fraction**: Since both the numerator and denominator are the same (and negative), we can simplify: \[ \frac{-35}{-35} = 1 \] 5. **Identify the Property**: The property illustrated here is that when a number is multiplied by its multiplicative inverse (or reciprocal), the result is 1. In this case, \(\frac{-7}{5}\) is multiplied by its multiplicative inverse \(\frac{5}{-7}\). ### Conclusion: The multiplication property of rational numbers shown in the equation \(\frac{-7}{5} \times \frac{5}{-7} = 1\) is known as the **Multiplicative Inverse**. ---
