Answer:

(8,2)

Explanation:

The rule is (x,y) becomes (-x, y). You can visualize this. (-8,2) is 8 units to the left of the origin (0,0) and two units up from the origin (0,0). Now, it we flip it so that is is on the other side of the y axis, it is still two units above the origin(0,0), but it is now 8 units to the right of the origin.
