Answer:

-4 and -2

Explanation:

First find all the factors of 8, that would be 1 and 8, -1 and -8, 2 and 4, and -2 and -4.

Then, adding the groups of numbers you have should show you what would equal -6. So 1 + 8 = 9, -1 + (-8) = -9, same vice versa, 2 + 4 = 6, -2 + (-4) = -6. So -2 and -4 would be your two numbers.
