Answers:

(6, 5)

(5, 1)

(8, 2)

==================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule we use is
`(\text{x}, \text{y}) \to (-\text{x}, \text{y})` when reflecting over the vertical y axis.

The x coordinate flips from positive to negative, or vice versa. The y coordinate stays the same. So a point like (-6, 5) reflects over to (6, 5). The x coordinate -6 flipped to +6 or simply 6. The y coordinate stayed at 5.

Use this idea to reflect the other points.
