A reflection over the y-axis is given by:


(x,y)\rightarrow(-x,y).

A translation up 4 units is given by:


(x,y)\rightarrow(x,y+4).

The combination of the two transformations is given by:


(x,y)\rightarrow(-x,y+4).

Applying this transformation to the point A = (-2, -5), we get:


A=(-2,-5)\rightarrow A^(\prime)=(+2,-5+4)=(2,-1).

Answer: A' = (2, -1)
