Answer:

$(-5,2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a figure has a vertex at (5,2). The figure has line symmetry about the y-axis.

We know that if a figure is symmetric about y-axis, then its x-coordinate changes to opposite sign and y-coordinate remains same.

We can see that x-coordinate of our given point is 5, so x-coordinate of another vertex of the figure would be -5.

Therefore, the point $(-5,2)$ is symmetric about y-axis for our given point.
