What is the inverse modular of a negative number

I'm working on Shamir secret sharing and i came across a part where i have



$(-4)^{-1}(\mod 17)$



I have never done negative number using inverse modulus so im kinda stuck




i tried changing it to



$(13)^{-1}(\mod 17)$



but it doesn't seem to work.
