Explanation:

Step1: Recall the reflection rule over the y - axis

When a point \((x,y)\) is reflected over the \(y\) - axis, the rule is \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\).

Step2: Apply the rule to point \(A(-4,-6)\)

For point \(A\) with \(x = - 4\) and \(y=-6\), using the rule \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\), we substitute \(x=-4\) into \(-x\). So, \(-x=-(-4) = 4\) and \(y\) remains \(-6\).

Answer:

\((4,-6)\)
