\huge\boxed{Hello! :)}

We plot the point (-5,0) on the coordinate plane.

Then, we reflect it over the y-axis.

Remember the rule:

  • If a point has coordinates (x, y), and the point is reflected over the y-axis, the new point's coordinates are: (-x,y)

Let's use this rule now.

We reflect (-5,0) over the y-axis.

(-5,0)

The new point is: (5,0)


\huge\boxed{(5,0) \: is \: the \: answer. :)}

(Option D)
