1. **Problem:** Reflect triangle JKL over the x-axis and find the coordinates of the image J'K'L'.
2. **Formula for reflection over the x-axis:**
$$ (x, y) \to (x, -y) $$
This means the x-coordinate stays the same, and the y-coordinate changes sign.
3. **Given vertices:**
- J(-7, -8)
- K(-5, -2)
- L(-2, -3)
4. **Apply the reflection formula:**
- J' = (-7, \cancel{-8}^{8}) = (-7, 8)
- K' = (-5, \cancel{-2}^{2}) = (-5, 2)
- L' = (-2, \cancel{-3}^{3}) = (-2, 3)
5. **Algebraic representation:**
The reflection over the x-axis is represented by
$$ (x, y) \to (x, -y) $$
**Final answer:**
- J'(-7, 8), K'(-5, 2), L'(-2, 3)
- Algebraic representation: $$(x, y) \to (x, -y)$$
