Final answer:

To draw the reflection of a figure over the x-axis, flip the figure so that y-coordinates change signs while x-coordinates remain the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

To draw the reflection of a figure over the x-axis, we need to flip the figure so that all the points are reflected across the x-axis. This means that the y-coordinates of the points will change signs while the x-coordinates remain the same.

For example, if a point on the figure has coordinates (x, y), its reflection across the x-axis will have coordinates (x, -y).

By applying this rule to each point on the figure, you can draw the reflection of the figure over the x-axis.
