Step-by-step explanation: Here, we're asked to reflect ΔQRS over

the x-axis so we begin by reflecting point Q over the x-axis.

Since point Q is 2 units below the x-axis, point Q will reflect

over the x-axis to a position 2 units above the x-axis.

We label this point as Q' which is the ordered pair (1, 2).

Next we reflect point R over the x-axis.

Since point R is 2 units below the x-axis, point R will reflect

over the x-axis to a position 2 units above the x-axis.

We label this point as R' which is the ordered pair (3, 2).

Now connect the points to get our reflection.

Next we reflect point S over the x-axis.

Since point S is 6 units below the x-axis, point S will reflect

over the x-axis to a position 6 units above the x-axis.

We label this point as S' which is the ordered pair (1, 6).
