The points (-8, -3) and (8, -3) are related by a reflection across the y-axis.
- The x-coordinate of the first point (-8) is the negative of the x-coordinate of the second point (8), while the y-coordinates are identical (-3 for both points).
Thus, the correct answer is:
**B. reflection across the y-axis**
