The video tutorial explains how to reflect a figure over the X axis. It begins by identifying the X axis as the line of symmetry and demonstrates the process using points A, B, and C. The key concept is to take the opposite of the Y coordinate while keeping the X coordinate unchanged. The tutorial concludes by summarizing the reflection process and providing examples.
