Answer:

The new coordinates are (-11, -35)

Explanation:

When reflecting across the x-axis, you are just the Y. value. It is the opposite due to the fact that if you're moving something across the horizontal x-axis, it's actually the vertical height changing. So, you just inverse the Y value to its' negative or positive reciprocal.
