1. **State the problem:** We need to find the coordinates of the vertices P, Q, R, and S after reflecting them over the x-axis.
2. **Recall the reflection rule:** Reflecting a point $(x, y)$ over the x-axis changes its coordinates to $(x, -y)$.
3. **Original coordinates:**
- $P(-8, -4)$
- $Q(-8, -2)$
- $R(-2, -2)$
- $S(-2, -4)$
4. **Apply the reflection:**
- $P' = (-8, -(-4)) = (-8, 4)$
- $Q' = (-8, -(-2)) = (-8, 2)$
- $R' = (-2, -(-2)) = (-2, 2)$
- $S' = (-2, -(-4)) = (-2, 4)$
5. **Final answer:**
- $P'(-8, 4)$
- $Q'(-8, 2)$
- $R'(-2, 2)$
- $S'(-2, 4)$
