The reflection about x-axis results in same x coodinate with oppositive of y coordinate. It can be expressed as,


(x,y)\rightarrow(x,-y)

Determine the coordinates of the vertices after reflection over the x-axis.


Q(6,-8)\rightarrow Q^(\prime)(6,8)
R(7,-8)\rightarrow R^(\prime)(7,8)
S(7,-5)\rightarrow Q^(\prime)(7,5)
T(6,-5)\rightarrow T^(\prime)(6,5)
