It's (-5,-2)
Rules for reflecting:
Over x-axis - multiply the y value by -1
Over y-axis - multiply the x value by -1
Over the origin - multiply both by -1
Over the line y=x - switch the x and y values

(5,2) the rule is if u reflect over the X axis change the sign of the first number and for Y axis change the 2nd numbers sign

Well, if it's reflected across the x axis then it would have the same y coord, but the y coord would have its sign reversed.
A little sketch will make this easy to see.
So, (-5,2) reflected across x axis becomes (-5,-2)

(-5,-2) when your flipping a point over the x axis only the y coordinate changes when your flipping over the y axis only the x coordinate changes so if you were flipping over the y axis your point would be (5,2) Hope It Helps :)

If I assume that your convention is (x,y) then you want to reflect through the line y=0 so the reflection is (x,0-y) = (-5,-2)
