-16/20 simplest form - -4/5
20/-25 simplest from 4/ -5

-4/5 
4/ -5 

they both are not equivalent as both of their's subtraction symbol placed on the opposite sides and so makes the whole answer wrong.

-16/ 20 = - (4*4)/(4*5) = -4/5 ----(1)

20/-25 = (4*5)/- (5*5) = - 4/5----(2)

(1) = (2)
therefore

-16/20 = 20/-25 = -4/5
they are equivalent
