The explanation that appeals to me: If number N is an arrow on the number line from 0 to N, then multiplying N by -1 flips the arrow with the result -N. Multiplying by -1 again would be another flip, taking you back to N. So a flip followed by a flip is same as no change (i.e. multiplicative identity 1). |
