To move Point A(-5, -2) to Quadrant IV, we need to apply one or more transformations that result in a reflection about the x-axis and/or a rotation of 180 degrees. The following transformations would move Point A to Quadrant IV:

Reflection about the x-axis: This transformation would change the sign of the y-coordinate, making it positive. So, the image of A after this transformation would be (−5, 2).

Rotation of 180 degrees about the origin: This transformation would change the sign of both the x and y-coordinates, making them positive. So, the image of A after this transformation would be (5, 2).

Therefore, either a reflection about the x-axis or a rotation of 180 degrees would move Point A to Quadrant IV.
