Answer:

your answer is (1,-6)

Explanation:

when a point is reflected in y-axis, then the y-co-ordinate remains same and then x-co-ordinate becomes the opposite of that number.

When you reflect a point across the y-axis, only the x-coordinate changes while the y-coordinate stays the same. For example:

(-x, -y) -> (x, -y)

So:

(-1, -6) -> (1, -6)

Best of Luck!
