**Draw the images of the line segments \[\overline{IJ}\] and \[\overline{KL}\] under a reflection over \[y=-3\].**

To reflect the line segments \(\overline{IJ}\) and \(\overline{KL}\) over the line \(y = -3\), we need to follow these steps:

1. **Determine the coordinates of points \(I\), \(J\), \(K\), and \(L\).** Without specific coordinates, we assume general positions for these points. Let's say:
   - \(I(x_1, y_1)\)
   - \(J(x_2, y_2)\)
   - \(K(x_3, y_3)\)
   - \(L(x_4, y_4)\)

2. **Reflect each point over the line \(y = -3\):**
   - The reflected point \(I'\) corresponding to \(I(x_1, y_1)\) is determined by the following rule:
     - If \(I(x_1, y_1)\) is reflected over \(y = -3\), the y-coordinate of the reflected point \(I'\) will be \(y' = -3 - (y_1 + 3)\).
   - Apply this to all points to find \(I' (x_1, y'_1)\), \(J' (x_2, y'_2)\), \(K' (x_3, y'_3)\), and \(L' (x_4, y'_4)\).

3. **Draw the line segments:**
   - The original line segments \(\overline{IJ}\) and \(\overline{KL}\) can be drawn on a coordinate plane.
   - Then, draw their reflected segments \(\overline{I'J'}\) and \(\overline{K'L'}\).

Since I can't draw the image directly here, let me create a description of how the image would look.

### Image Description
- The coordinate plane is shown with a horizontal line \(y = -3\) highlighted.
- Line segment \(\overline{IJ}\) is drawn above or below \(y = -3\), with points \(I(x_1, y_1)\) and \(J(x_2, y_2)\).
- Line segment \(\overline{KL}\) is similarly drawn with points \(K(x_3, y_3)\) and \(L(x_4, y_4)\).
- Reflections of these points (\(I'\), \(J'\), \(K'\), \(L'\)) are placed on the other side of the line \(y = -3\), at coordinates \(I'(x_1, y'_1)\), \(J'(x_2, y'_2)\), \(K'(x_3, y'_3)\), and \(L'(x_4, y'_4)\).
- The reflected line segments \(\overline{I'J'}\) and \(\overline{K'L'}\) are drawn, mirroring the original segments across \(y = -3\).

Do you want details or have any questions?  
Here are 5 related questions to explore further:

1. What are the coordinates of points \(I\) and \(J\) if \(\overline{IJ}\) is parallel to the x-axis?
2. How do you reflect a line segment over an arbitrary line \(y = mx + c\)?
3. How do the lengths of \(\overline{IJ}\) and \(\overline{I'J'}\) compare?
4. How would the reflection change if the reflection line were vertical, such as \(x = 2\)?
5. Can you find the equation of a line segment after reflection over \(y = -3\)?

**Tip:** When reflecting points, always keep track of their distance from the reflection line. This ensures accurate placement of the reflected points.
