Hydroxide ion that is OH is a compound made up of hydrogen and oxygen. To know the valency of an atom you need to understand the concept of electronegativity. Oxygen is more electronegative atom as compared to hydrogen, thus the oxygen atom has a charge of -2 whereas hydrogen atom has a charge +1. Thus OH has an overall charge of -1
