The image shows a triangle \(ABC\) reflected over the x-axis, and the question asks where point \(A'\), the reflection of point \(A\), would be located.

To find the reflected point \(A'\) over the x-axis, we apply the reflection rule: when reflecting a point over the x-axis, the x-coordinate remains the same, but the y-coordinate is multiplied by \(-1\). 

From the graph, the coordinates of point \(A\) are approximately \((-3, -2)\).

- After reflecting over the x-axis, point \(A'\) will have the same x-coordinate and the opposite y-coordinate:
  \[
  A' = (-3, 2)
  \]

So, point \(A'\) will be located at \((-3, 2)\).

Would you like further details or explanations on this? Here are some related questions:

1. How do you reflect points over other axes or lines?
2. What are the coordinates of points \(B'\) and \(C'\) after reflection?
3. How can reflections be described in terms of transformations?
4. What is the general rule for reflecting over the y-axis?
5. Can reflections be combined with other transformations like rotations?

**Tip:** Always check both coordinates when performing reflections to ensure the transformation follows the correct rule.
