Answer:

(-6, -2)

Explanation:

1. When reflecting over any axis, the absolute value of the numbers stay the same; the answer will still be 6 and 2, it just depends on whether or not they are positive.

2. Because this is a reflection over the x-axis, the sign of the x-value will remain the same while the sign of the y-value changes.

3. Identify your x and y:
x=-6, y=2

4. Apply the knowledge from Step 2 to the coordinates/values identified in Step 3. Therefore, we get the new coordinates of (-6, -2).
