To find the coordinates of the vertices of rectangle \( A'B'C'D' \) after reflecting rectangle \( ABCD \) over the x-axis and then the y-axis, we will follow these steps:

  1. Reflect over the x-axis: This changes the y-coordinates of each vertex to their opposite value (i.e., \( (x, y) \) becomes \( (x, -y) \)).
  2. Reflect over the y-axis: This changes the x-coordinates of each vertex to their opposite value (i.e., \( (x, y) \) becomes \( (-x, y) \)).

Starting with the vertices of rectangle \( ABCD \):

  • \( A(-1, -2) \)
  • \( B(-1, -8) \)
  • \( C(-8, -8) \)
  • \( D(-8, -2) \)

Step 1: Reflect over the x-axis

  • \( A'(-1, -(-2)) = (-1, 2) \)
  • \( B'(-1, -(-8)) = (-1, 8) \)
  • \( C'(-8, -(-8)) = (-8, 8) \)
  • \( D'(-8, -(-2)) = (-8, 2) \)

After this reflection, the coordinates become:

  • \( A'(-1, 2) \)
  • \( B'(-1, 8) \)
  • \( C'(-8, 8) \)
  • \( D'(-8, 2) \)

Step 2: Reflect over the y-axis

  • \( A''(-(-1), 2) = (1, 2) \)
  • \( B''(-(-1), 8) = (1, 8) \)
  • \( C''(-(-8), 8) = (8, 8) \)
  • \( D''(-(-8), 2) = (8, 2) \)

After this reflection, the final coordinates become:

  • \( A''(1, 2) \)
  • \( B''(1, 8) \)
  • \( C''(8, 8) \)
  • \( D''(8, 2) \)

Thus, the coordinates of the vertices for rectangle \( A'B'C'D' \) are:

  • \( A'(1, 2) \)
  • \( B'(1, 8) \)
  • \( C'(8, 8) \)
  • \( D'(8, 2) \)

The correct response based on the reflections is: Rectangle A′B′C′D′ has vertices A′(1, 2), B′(1, 8), C′(8, 8), and D′(8, 2).
