A. (−3, −7)
B. (3, −7)

To reflect a point across the x-axis, we need to negate the y-coordinate while keeping the x-coordinate unchanged.

Given that the original point is (-3, 7), we will negate the y-coordinate, which is 7, to get our reflected point.

Negating 7 gives us -7, so the coordinates of the reflected point are (-3, -7), represented by option A.

Therefore, your answer is correct. The coordinates of the reflected point are (-3, -7) (option A).
