The answer would be (-1,-6). Remember that the x-axis runs left to right and the y-axis runs up and down. Therefore, if you were to reflect it, just picture it being flipped over. If you go from (-1,+6) and you reflect it over the x-axis, both points are now in the bottom left quadrant where everything is negative. So, you get (-1,-6) The -1 doesn't change since it was already a -x value before and stayed in a negative area.
