To reflect a point \( R(x, y) \) over the x-axis, you need to change the sign of the y-coordinate while keeping the x-coordinate the same. The reflection of the point \( R(x, y) \) over the x-axis will be \( R'(x, -y) \).

For example, if the coordinates of point \( R \) are \( (a, b) \), then the coordinates of the reflected point \( R' \) will be \( (a, -b) \).

1. Plot the original point \( R \) on the coordinate grid.
2. Determine the reflected point \( R' \) by changing the sign of the y-coordinate.
3. Plot the point \( R' \) on the grid.

If you provide the coordinates of point \( R \), I can help you find the coordinates of \( R' \) and guide you through plotting it.
