Answer:

The point was reflected over the y-axis.

The point was translated left 6 units

Explanation:

step 1

we know that

When you reflect a point across the y-axis, the y-coordinate remains the same, but the x-coordinate is transformed into its opposite

In this problem

If you apply a reflection across the y-axis

(x.y)------> (-x,y)

(3,-2) ------> (-3,-2)

step 2

If you apply a translation to the left 6 units

The rule of the translation is equal to

(x,y)------> (x-6,y)

(3,-2) ------> (3-6,-2) ----> (-3,-2)
