To find the reflection of a point over the y-axis, you keep the same y-coordinate and change the sign of the x-coordinate.
Given the point \((-8, 1)\), its reflection over the y-axis will have the same y-coordinate of \(1\), but the x-coordinate will change its sign, becoming \(8\).
So, the reflection of the point \((-8, 1)\) over the y-axis is \((8, 1)\).
