Answer:

-4/1 or -4

Explanation:

A reciprocal is found by switching the numerator and denominator. So if we ignored the negative sign and found the reciprocal of 1/4, it is 4/1. Now, if you add the negative sign, you get -4/1. If you simplify, you get -4. I'm not really too sure on my answer so you can ask more than one person. I hope you get the help you need!
