1. **State the problem:**
We start with point $P(-6,1)$ and apply a series of transformations in the order given.
2. **List the transformations:**
- Reflection over the y-axis
- Translation: $(x,y) \to (x-6,y)$
- 180° rotation clockwise about the origin
- Reflection over the x-axis
- Reflection over the y-axis
- Translation: $(x,y) \to (x-1,y-1)$
- Dilation: $(x,y) \to (2.5x,2.5y)$
- Reflection over the y-axis
3. **Apply each transformation step-by-step:**
**Step 1: Reflection over the y-axis**
Reflection over the y-axis changes $(x,y)$ to $(-x,y)$.
$$P_1 = (-(-6),1) = (6,1)$$
**Step 2: Translation $(x,y) \to (x-6,y)$**
Subtract 6 from the x-coordinate:
$$P_2 = (6-6,1) = (0,1)$$
**Step 3: 180° rotation clockwise about the origin**
A 180° clockwise rotation about the origin sends $(x,y)$ to $( -x, -y )$.
$$P_3 = (-0,-1) = (0,-1)$$
**Step 4: Reflection over the x-axis**
Reflection over the x-axis sends $(x,y)$ to $(x,-y)$.
$$P_4 = (0,-(-1)) = (0,1)$$
**Step 5: Reflection over the y-axis**
Reflection over the y-axis sends $(x,y)$ to $(-x,y)$.
$$P_5 = (-(0),1) = (0,1)$$
**Step 6: Translation $(x,y) \to (x-1,y-1)$**
Subtract 1 from both coordinates:
$$P_6 = (0-1,1-1) = (-1,0)$$
**Step 7: Dilation $(x,y) \to (2.5x,2.5y)$**
Multiply both coordinates by 2.5:
$$P_7 = (2.5 \times -1, 2.5 \times 0) = (-2.5,0)$$
**Step 8: Reflection over the y-axis**
Reflection over the y-axis sends $(x,y)$ to $(-x,y)$.
$$P_8 = (-(-2.5),0) = (2.5,0)$$
4. **Final answer:**
The final location of the point after all transformations is
$$\boxed{(2.5,0)}$$
