Answer

(a) $(-8,0)$ (b) $ (8,0)$ (c) $ (8,0)$

Work Step by Step

(a) A point symmetric with respect to the x-axis means $(x,y)\to (x,-y)$, thus $(-8,0)\to (-8,0)$ (b) A point symmetric with respect to the y-axis means $(x,y)\to (-x,y)$, thus $(-8,0)\to (8,0)$ (c) A point symmetric with respect to the origin means $(x,y)\to (-x,-y)$, thus $(-8,0)\to (8,0)$
