The opposite and reciprocal of -7/2 is 2/7.

Explanation:

With a number x, the reciprocal is known as 1/x.
So we have our x = -7/2, our reciprocal 1/x => 1/(-7/2) => -2/7.
Since it had asked to be opposite, we put a negative sign in front:
-(-2/7) => 2/7.
Since it had asked for the opposite and reciprocal of -7/2, we are done, 2/7.
