(1,10)

1) Considering that there was a reflection over the x-axis then we can write it down:

Reflection Rule about the x-axis

Pre-image Image

(x, y) (x, -y)

V(1,-6) (1, 6)

2) Then let's translate it up to 4 units adding 4 units to the

Pre-image Image

(x, y) (x, y+4)

V(1,6) (1, 10)

3) Hence, point V is going to be located at (1,10)
