Question

using the pencil, plot the reflection of point a across the x-axis.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify coordinates of A

Point $A$ is at $(8, 3)$

Step2: Apply x-axis reflection rule

For reflection across x-axis, $(x,y)\to(x,-y)$. So $(8,3)\to(8, -3)$

Step3: Plot the new point

Mark the point at $(8, -3)$ on the grid.

Answer:

The reflected point is located at coordinates $(8, -3)$ (plotted on the grid 8 units right of the origin and 3 units below the x-axis).
