Metallic copper does not react with sodium hydroxide. But if sodium hydroxide is added into a solution of copper ions, it would form Copper(II) Hydroxide. It is a precipitate which is insoluble in water.

No, copper is not soluble in sodium hydroxide. When copper reacts with sodium hydroxide, it forms a precipitate of copper hydroxide, which is insoluble in water.
