In theory, following the accepted steps you would first reflect the graph across the y axis due to the negative sign within the function, then you would reflect the result across the x axis due to the negative sign outside of the function.
In practice however you only need to reflect across the x axis as -(-x)^2 simplifies to -x^2
Final Answer:
Reflect the graph f(x) across the x axis to obtain the graph g(x).
Hope I helped :)
