What is the inverse of the fraction(-5/7)?

-7/5
5/7
-5/-7
7/5

The correct answer is: -7/5

The inverse of a fraction is basically the flipped version of the fraction, where the numerator and denominator are switched. In this case, -5/7 is the numerator and -7/5 is the denominator. This makes A the correct answer because it is the inverse of the given fraction (-5/7). Option B (5/7) is not the inverse because it remains in the same position as the original fraction. Option C (-5/-7) is also not the inverse because it does not have the flipped position of the numerator and denominator. Option D (7/5) is also not the inverse because it has the original numerator and denominator in the correct position, but it is not negative like the original fraction. Therefore, A is the only option that fulfills the criteria of being the inverse of the original fraction.
