Answer

$x=-1$

Work Step by Step

$y=|x|$ is an absolute value function with axis of symmetry $x=0$. $y=|x+1|$ is a translation of $y=|x|$ one unit to the left. So, axis of symmetry will move one unit left as well and becomes $x=-1$. $y=-|x+1|$ is a reflection over $x$-axis of $y=|x+1|$. Note, that axis of symmetry will remain the same in this case. So, it is $x=-1$.
