You would just flip the numbers and change the sign so it would be (7,5)

Answer:

(7, 5)

Explanation:

Let us graph the point and the line so we can see the problem laid out for us.

-> See attached

We can see that the coordinate values (x and y) are flipped and the signs also both flip.

This also can be found by solving the equation:

y = -x

-7 = -x

7 = x

--------------

y = - -5

y = 5
