We are asked to reflect a point over the y-axis. To solve this question, we simply need to know the transformation for reflection.

The transformation for reflection across the y-axis is:

$(x,y)\to(-x,y)$

Let us apply the transformation on the question.

$\begin{gathered} (x,y)\to(-x,y) \\ (5,1)\to(-5,1) \end{gathered}$

Answer

The answer is (-5, 1)
