1. **State the problem:** We need to find the image of triangle \(\triangle STU\) after reflecting it over the line \(y = 4\).
2. **Reflection formula:** When reflecting a point \((x, y)\) over the horizontal line \(y = k\), the image point \((x', y')\) is given by:
$$
x' = x
$$
$$
y' = 2k - y
$$
3. **Identify the coordinates of points \(S\), \(T\), and \(U\):**
From the graph description:
- \(S = (6, 2)\)
- \(T = (10, 4)\)
- \(U = (8, 8)\)
4. **Apply the reflection formula to each vertex:**
- For \(S(6, 2)\):
$$
x'_S = 6
$$
$$
y'_S = 2 \times 4 - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6
$$
- For \(T(10, 4)\):
$$
x'_T = 10
$$
$$
y'_T = 2 \times 4 - 4 = 8 - 4 = 4
$$
- For \(U(8, 8)\):
$$
x'_U = 8
$$
$$
y'_U = 2 \times 4 - 8 = 8 - 8 = 0
$$
5. **Final image coordinates:**
- \(S' = (6, 6)\)
- \(T' = (10, 4)\)
- \(U' = (8, 0)\)
6. **Explanation:** Each point is reflected vertically across the line \(y=4\) by measuring the vertical distance from the point to the line and placing the image the same distance on the opposite side.
**Answer:** The image of \(\triangle STU\) after reflection over \(y=4\) has vertices \(S'(6,6)\), \(T'(10,4)\), and \(U'(8,0)\).
