\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{function transformations} \\ \quad \\ % function transformations for trigonometric functions \begin{array}{rllll} % left side templates f(x)=&{{ A}}sin({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}} \\\\ f(x)=&{{ A}}cos({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}}\\\\ f(x)=&{{ A}}tan({{ B}}x+{{ C}})+{{ D}} \end{array} \\\\ -------------------\\\\

now, with that template above in mind, let's see.

reflected over the x-axis, that means A is negative.

vertically shrunk by 0.25 or 1/4, that means A is negative 4, or -4.

shifted to the left, that means C/B is positive

shifted by 65°, that means, we could use the default B = 1, and C = 65°, that way we end with C/B = 65/1 or just +65

and shifted downwards by 1 unit, that means D = -1.


\bf f(x)=-4sin(1x+65^o)-1\implies f(x)=-4sin(x+65^o)-1

and looks more or less like the picture below.
