Note that the transformed point after reflecting over y-axis is given as,


(x,y)\rightarrow(-x,y)

Given that the coordinates of the point is (-8,5).

So the coordinates of the point after reflection over the y-axis is given as,


(-8,5)\rightarrow(8,5)

Thus, the coordinates of the reflected point is (8,5).

See that both the coordinates of the relected point are positive.

This implies that the reflected point lies in the first quadrant.
