Answer:

yep, that is correct. the additive inverse of 2/-9 is 2/9 also, -2/9 2/-9 you can put the negative sign either on the numerator or on the denominator; you could also put it in between, before the fraction bar. just remember the rule that if you divide a positive number by a negative number (or vice versa), answer will always be negative.
note that -(2/9) -2 / 9 2/-9 as long as there is just one negative, it doesn't matter where it is so the opposite of 2/9 can be written as either -(2/9) , -2 / 9, or 2 / -9 all the same number and yes, the opposite (additive inverse) of 2/ -9 is 2/9
