When a point is reflected across a line, the resulting image is always the same distance from the line as the original point, but on the opposite side. Since the original point R is above the line y = -2, the image will be below the line.

To find the coordinates of the image, we can use the fact that the y-coordinate of the image will be 2 units below the y-coordinate of the original point R. If the original point R has coordinates (x,y), then the image will have coordinates (x, y-2).

Therefore, the coordinates of the image of point R reflected across the line y = -2 are (x, y-2).
