A

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m =

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (0, 0) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (2, - 8) ← 2 points on the line

m = = = - 4

The line crosses the y- axis at (0, 0) ⇒ c = 0 , then

y = - 4x + c , that is

y = - 4x → A

a reflection across the x-axis , followed by the by a reflection across the y-axis , and then a scale dilation of 0.5 .
