In a horizontal reflection, the \(x\)-coordinate of the point is negated, while the \(y\)-coordinate remains the same.
The original point is \((-2, 1)\).
After a horizontal reflection, the new point will be:
\[ (2, 1) \]
The transformation does not affect the \(y\)-coordinate. Thus, the correct answer is:
In the horizontal reflection, the point \((-2, 1)\) becomes \((2, 1)\).
