Reflecting coordinates over the 'x-axis' requires you to take the coordinate given and simply changing the signs.

Reflecting over the 'x-axis' will change the numbers like this: (x, -y). This basically means that your given 'x' will stay the same whilst you change the '-2' to a '2'.

Your answer should be: (3, 2)

Since it is reflected across the x-axis, the x value will stay the same. The y-value, however will change to the opposite quadrant, so if it was positive it will become negative. If it was negative it will become positive. The reflection of (3,-2) across the x-axis will give the new ordered pair of

(3, 2)
