The correct answer is
$(7, -8)$

Reflection Rule for X-axis

Reflecting a point $(x, y)$ along the x-axis means keeping the x-coordinate the same and changing the sign of the y-coordinate. The resulting point is $(x, -y)$.

Applying Reflection to Point (7, 8)

The given point is $(7, 8)$.

Applying the x-axis reflection rule:

  • The x-coordinate remains $7$.
  • The y-coordinate changes from $8$ to $-8$.

Therefore, the reflected point is $(7, -8)$.

Identifying the Correct Option

The calculated reflected point is $(7, -8)$. This matches Option 4.
