When a point \( A(x, y) \) is reflected in the x-axis, the y-coordinate of the point changes its sign while the x-coordinate remains the same.

For point \( A(4, -7) \):

  • The x-coordinate remains \( 4 \).
  • The y-coordinate changes from \( -7 \) to \( 7 \).

Thus, the coordinates of the image \( A' \) after reflection in the x-axis are \( (4, 7) \).

So, the answer is: The coordinates of \( A' \) are \( (4, 7) \).
