1. The problem is to reflect the point $(-6,-5)$ across the y-axis. 2. When reflecting a point across the y-axis, the $x$-coordinate changes sign (becomes its opposite), and the $y$-coordinate remains the same. 3. The formula for reflection across the y-axis is: $$ (x,y) \to (-x,y) $$ 4. Applying this to the point $(-6,-5)$: $$ (-6,-5) \to (\cancel{-6}^{6},-5) = (6,-5) $$ 5. So, the reflected point is $(6,-5)$. This means the point moves horizontally to the opposite side of the y-axis but stays at the same height on the y-axis.
