Answer:

B(6, -3)

Explanation:

Reflection over the origin changes the signs of the coordinates.

(x, y) ⇒ (-x, -y) . . . . reflection over the origin

A(-6, 3) ⇒ B(6, -3)

_____

Additional comment

Reflection over the origin is fully equivalent to rotation 180° about the origin, or reflection over both the x- and y-axes (in any order).
