ANSWER:

(-4, -1)

Explanation:

From the point (-4, -2), the first thing is to translate it 3 units up, as follows:


P(-4,-2)\rightarrow P^(\prime)(-4,-2+3)\rightarrow P^(\prime)(-4,1)

Now, the reflection over the x-axis has the following rule:


\begin{gathered} (x,y)\rightarrow(x,-y) \\ \\ \text{ We apply in this case:} \\ \\ P^(\prime)(-4,1)\rightarrow P^(\prime)^(\prime)(-4,-1) \end{gathered}
