Answer

Final Answer: The ordered pair that describes the location of \(A'\) is \(\boxed{(2, -6)}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The question is asking for the coordinates of the point A' which is the reflection of point A over the y-axis. In a reflection over the y-axis, the x-coordinate of the point changes its sign while the y-coordinate remains the same.

Step 2 :So, the x-coordinate of point A' will be 2 (the opposite of -2) and the y-coordinate will remain -6.

Step 3 :Final Answer: The ordered pair that describes the location of \(A'\) is \(\boxed{(2, -6)}\).
