Answer
$(-5, -1)$
Work Step by Step
RECALL:
In the point $(x ,y)$:
$x$ = directed distance of the point from the y-axis (positive when the point is to the right of the y-axis, negative when to the left)
$y$ = directed distance of the point from the x-axis (positive when the point is above the x-axis, negative when below)
Point A is:
5 units to the left of the y-axis so $x=-5$
1 unit below the x-axis so $y=-1$
Thus, the coordinates of A are $(-5, -1)$.
