You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The graph "is symmetric with respect to the y axis", so that means you can reflect (1,2) over the y axis to have it land on another known point.

This point is (-1,2) as all you do is change the x coordinate. A picture helps see this if you can't see it in your mind

Example:

So again, the final answer is (-1,2)
