Final answer:

The coordinates of the reflection A' are (-1,-5).


Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinates of the reflection of point A (-7,-5) over the line x=-5, we need to find the distance between point A and the line, which is 5 units to the right of -5. This gives us a new x-coordinate of 0. The y-coordinate remains the same, so the new coordinates after the first reflection are (0,-5).

Next, to find the coordinates of the reflection after being reflected over the line x=2, we calculate the distance between the reflected point (0,-5) and the line, which is 3 units to the left of 2. This gives us a new x-coordinate of -1. The y-coordinate remains the same, so the final coordinates of A' are (-1,-5).
