Explanation:

When reflecting a point across an axis, that means the opposite coordinate will switch signs.

Reflecting a point across the YAXIS means that the X coordinate will switch signs

Reflecting a point across the XAXIS means that the Y coordinate will switch signs

Taking (-3, -8)....

Reflecting it across the y-axis, we will flip the sign of the X coordinate. It's -3, so we make that +3, giving us

(3, -8)

Reflecting across the x-axis, we will flip the sign of the Y coordinate. it's -8, so we make that +8, giving us

(-3, 8)
