Answer:

Q'(-2 , 5)

Explanation:

Note that:

1) When you are reflecting over the x-axis, you are changing the sign for the y.

2) When you are reflecting over the y-axis, you are changing the sign for the x.

In this case, you are reflecting over the y-axis. Change the sign of the x:

Q(2 , 5) ⇒ Q'(-2 , 5)

Q'(-2 , 5) is your answer.
