To reflect a point horizontally across the y-axis, we change the sign of the x-coordinate while leaving the y-coordinate unchanged.
So, reflecting the point \((-2, 1)\) horizontally results in the new point \((2, 1)\).
Therefore, the correct response is:
In the horizontal reflection, the point (−2,1) becomes (2,1).
