Answer:

A'(2, 5)

Explanation:

If the triangle is reflected over y-axis, the y-axis will be a symmetry line then the distance between A and y will remain the same but opposite sign which is 2 units ( -2 become 2 )

Answer:

A'(2,5)

Explanation:

The position of point A is at (-2,5), and when you reflect it over the y-axis, you just have to switch the signs of the x-coordinate value.
