Answer:

(-4,-2)

Explanation:

This is because in order to reflect over the x-axis, the x-axis stays the same and the y-value is the exact opposite of the original y-axis.

(x, y) = (x, -y) in other words.

This is as simple as I can put it, hope this helps :)

Please tell me if you need more help.
