The point HH is plotted on the coordinate grid below. Plot the point H, primeH 
′
 , the reflection of HH over the xx-axis

To reflect point \( H \) over the \( x \)-axis, follow these steps:

1. **Identify the coordinates of point \( H \)**: Let's assume point \( H \) has coordinates \( (x, y) \).
2. **Reflect over the \( x \)-axis**: To reflect a point over the \( x \)-axis, the rule is to keep the \( x \)-coordinate the same and multiply the \( y \)-coordinate by -1. So the coordinates of \( H' \) (the reflection of \( H \)) would be \( (x, -y) \).
3. **Plot the new point \( H' \)**: On the coordinate grid, plot the new point with the updated coordinates \( (x, -y) \).

For example, if the point \( H \) is located at \( (3, 4) \), the reflection over the \( x \)-axis would be \( H' = (3, -4) \).

If you provide the coordinates of point \( H \), I can help you reflect it more precisely!

Would you like more details on reflecting points? Here are some related questions:

1. How do you reflect a point over the \( y \)-axis?
2. How do you reflect a point over the line \( y = x \)?
3. What happens when you reflect a point twice over the \( x \)-axis and then the \( y \)-axis?
4. How do reflections affect the distances between points on a grid?
5. What are the properties of reflections in coordinate geometry?

**Tip**: When reflecting over the \( x \)-axis, only the sign of the \( y \)-coordinate changes.
