  ${a}^{-} x$ is the same as $\frac{1}{{a}^{x}}$.
  
  Therefore, $- {3}^{-} 4 = - \frac{1}{3} ^ 4 = - \frac{1}{81} = - \frac{1}{9} ^ 2$.
explanation: The document contains a math question and its corresponding answer. The question is about simplifying \(-3^{-4}\), and the answer explains the steps to simplify the expression.
