Answer:

(8,-2)

Explanation:

When reflecting something across the X axis the y axis coordinate is the one that will change to put the position further up or down. In this case we are moving it down to the same amount below the axis that it is now above it. That means that since it is currently 2 above the X axis it would then be 2 below the X axis making it at -2 so the coordinates would be (8,-2)

I hope this helps and please don't hesitate to ask if there is anything still unclear!
