1. The problem is to find the value of $(\frac{2}{3})^{-1}$.
2. Recall the rule for negative exponents: For any nonzero number $a$ and integer $n$, $a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}$.
3. Applying this rule, we have:
$$\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{-1} = \frac{1}{\frac{2}{3}}$$
4. Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:
$$\frac{1}{\frac{2}{3}} = 1 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3}{2}$$
5. Therefore, the value of $(\frac{2}{3})^{-1}$ is $\frac{3}{2}$.
This means that raising a fraction to the power of $-1$ flips the numerator and denominator.
