Answer:

What Doug probably means to say is that the reciprocal of -2/5 is 5/-2. So, by this definition, Doug would be correct. However, you would not usually call it the "opposite" of a number, rather, the reciprocal.

The numbers are reciprocals of the other as their product is equal to one "-2/5 * 5/-2 = 1"
