    (-1, -6).

    The vertex of a function f(x) = a|x - h| + k is (h, k).

    Basically switch the sign on the number added or subtracted inside the absolute value signs to get the x coordinate and keep the sign the same on the number added or subtracted on the outside to get the y coordinate.

    "h lies, k tells the truth"
