-4,2 I believe

The x-axis is the horizontal line, which reflects up and down.
The coordinate (-4,-2) is in the bottom left section of the graph, when it reflects over the x-axis it will be in the top left. Which is -x,+y.
That proves my answer of -4,2

(-4, 2)

Explanation:

When you reflect anything over the x-axis, you take the opposite sign of the y-int.
