Answer:

B (1, 5)

Explanation:

When a point is reflected over an axis, the coordinate which corresponds to that axis does not change. The other coordinate becomes negative with respect to the current value.

Hence, since the y-axis is mentioned, the y-coordinate does not change and the x-coordinate becomes negative.

  • New point = (-(-1), 5)
  • New point = (1, 5)
  • Option B
