Answer:

(-1,6)

Explanation:

Given that(4,6) is on the graph of f(x)

f(-4x) means x is multiplied by -4

When x is multiplied by -1 then there will be reflection over y axis

We multiply every point by -1. so multiply the x values of the given point (4,6) by -1

New point is (-4,6)

If any number is multiplied with x then there will be a horizontal compression or stretch.

4 is multiplied with x , so there will be horizontal compression because 4 is greater than 1

To get new point, we divide the x values by 4 for compression

we already got (-4,6) after multiplying by -1

Now we divide the x coordinate -4 by 4 = -1

So corresponding point for the function f(-4x) is (-1,6)
