1. The problem asks whether $\frac{2}{3}$ is the reciprocal of $-\frac{2}{3}$.
2. Recall that the reciprocal of a number $x$ is defined as $\frac{1}{x}$.
3. Let's find the reciprocal of $-\frac{2}{3}$.
4. The reciprocal is:
$$\frac{1}{-\frac{2}{3}} = -\frac{3}{2}$$
5. Compare this to $\frac{2}{3}$:
$\frac{2}{3} \neq -\frac{3}{2}$
6. Therefore, $\frac{2}{3}$ is not the reciprocal of $-\frac{2}{3}$.
Final answer: No, $\frac{2}{3}$ is not the reciprocal of $-\frac{2}{3}$. The reciprocal of $-\frac{2}{3}$ is $-\frac{3}{2}$.
