Identifying the Identity for Opposite Denominators

A financial analyst is comparing two growth models. Model A uses the denominator (r−0.05)(r - 0.05) and Model B uses the denominator (0.05−r)(0.05 - r). State the specific algebraic identity that allows the analyst to rewrite the denominator (0.05−r)(0.05 - r) in a form that reveals it is the 'opposite' of (r−0.05)(r - 0.05).
