To find the coordinates of point Q’ after reflecting point Q(–4, 5) over the x-axis, we need to change the sign of the y-coordinate while keeping the x-coordinate the same.

The original point Q has coordinates (–4, 5).

After reflection over the x-axis, the coordinates become:

– The x-coordinate remains –4.
– The y-coordinate changes from 5 to –5.

Thus, Q’ = (–4, –5).

From the options provided, it seems that the correct choice isn’t exactly listed. However, if you had (–4, –5) as an option, that would be correct! If you need further help or clarification on reflections, feel free to ask!
