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 $(-5, -1)$.
