Answer:

y = -6 * x^3

Explanation:

We can model the new function as:

f(x) = ax^3

the function y = x^3 have positive values of y for positive values of x, and negative values of y for negative values of x.

As the negative values of x have positive values of y and vice-versa, the first change is to put a negative sign in front of x^3, so we know that 'a' is negative.

Then, for x=1 we have y = -6, so:

-6 = a*1^3

a = -6

So the equation of the transformed function is:

y = -6 * x^3
