To find the image of the point \((4, -4)\) after a dilation by a scale factor of \(\frac{1}{4}\) centered at the origin, you can use the following formula for dilation:

\[
(x', y') = (k \cdot x, k \cdot y)
\]

where \((x, y)\) is the original point, \((x', y')\) is the image after dilation, and \(k\) is the scale factor.

In this case, the original point is \((4, -4)\) and the scale factor \(k\) is \(\frac{1}{4}\).

Now, we can apply the formula:

\[
x' = \frac{1}{4} \cdot 4 = 1
\]
\[
y' = \frac{1}{4} \cdot (-4) = -1
\]

So, the image of the point \((4, -4)\) after the dilation is:

\[
(1, -1)
\]
