SOLUTION: Determine if the graph is symmetric about the x-axis, the y-axis, or the origin.
r = 2 cos 5 θ
I believe this is symmetric around the x axis, is that correct?

Sine or cosine function potentially has left-right symmetry and up-down symmetry, depending on the algebraic translations present in the equation or function. One would not expect symmetry through the origin -- or at least, less likely .
Your example is symmetric about both axes.
