ANSWER

$A(2,-5)\to A'(2,5)$

$B(-3,5)\to B'(-3,-5)$

$C(3,-3)\to C'(3,3)$

Step-by-step explanation

The vertices of ABC are A(2, -5) B(-3, 5) C(3, -3).

We want to find the vertices of this triangle after a reflection over the x-axis.

The mapping for the reflection over the x-axis is

$(x,y)\to (x,-y)$

Therefore,

$A(2,-5)\to A'(2,5)$

$B(-3,5)\to B'(-3,-5)$

$C(3,-3)\to C'(3,3)$
