1. a reflection over the y - axis and then a 90° clockwise rotation about the origin
2. a reflection over the x - axis and then a reflection over the y - axis
3. a 90° clockwise rotation about the origin and then a reflection over the y - axis
4. a 90° counterclockwise rotation about the origin and then a reflection over the x - axis

Explanation:

Step1: Apply rotation and reflection rules

For a \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation about the origin, the rule is \((x,y)\to(y, -x)\).
For a reflection over the \(y -\)axis, the rule is \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\).
Let's take point \(A(-2,-1)\) as an example.
First, \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation: \((-2,-1)\to(-1,2)\).
Then, reflection over \(y -\)axis: \((-1,2)\to(1,2)\) (This is wrong path).

For a \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation about the origin \((x,y)\to(y, -x)\), then reflection over \(x -\)axis \((x,y)\to(x,-y)\).
Take \(A(-2,-1)\):
\(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation: \((-2,-1)\to(-1,2)\).
Reflection over \(x -\)axis: \((-1,2)\to(-1,-2)\) (Wrong).

For a \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation about the origin \((x,y)\to(y, -x)\), then reflection over \(y -\)axis \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\).
Take \(A(-2,-1)\):
\(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation: \((-2,-1)\to(-1,2)\).
Reflection over \(y -\)axis: \((-1,2)\to(1,2)\) (Wrong).

For a \(90^{\circ}\) counter - clockwise rotation about the origin \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\), then reflection over \(x -\)axis \((x,y)\to(x,-y)\).
Take \(A(-2,-1)\):
\(90^{\circ}\) counter - clockwise rotation: \((-2,-1)\to(1,-2)\).
Reflection over \(x -\)axis: \((1,-2)\to(1,2)\) (Wrong).

Let's use the formula for transformation.
The general formula for a \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation about the origin is \(\begin{pmatrix}x\\y\end{pmatrix}\to\begin{pmatrix}y\\-x\end{pmatrix}\), and then reflection over the \(y -\)axis \(\begin{pmatrix}x\\y\end{pmatrix}\to\begin{pmatrix}-x\\y\end{pmatrix}\).
Let's check each option:
- Option 1: Reflection over \(y -\)axis \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\), then \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation \((-x,y)\to(y,x)\) (using rotation formula \((x,y)\to(y, -x)\) with \(x=-x\)).
- Option 2: Reflection over \(x -\)axis \((x,y)\to(x,-y)\), then reflection over \(y -\)axis \((x,-y)\to(-x,-y)\) (Wrong).
- Option 3: \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation \((x,y)\to(y, -x)\), then reflection over \(y -\)axis \((y,-x)\to(-y,-x)\).
Take \(A(-2,-1)\):
First, \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation about the origin:
The rule for a \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation about the origin \((x,y)\to(y, -x)\). So for \(A(-2,-1)\), it becomes \((-1,2)\).
Then reflection over the \(y -\)axis:
The rule for reflection over the \(y -\)axis is \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\). So \((-1,2)\to(1,2)\) (Wrong).
- Option 4: \(90^{\circ}\) counter - clockwise rotation about the origin \((x,y)\to(-y,x)\), then reflection over the \(x -\)axis \((-y,x)\to(-y,-x)\).
Take \(A(-2,-1)\):
\(90^{\circ}\) counter - clockwise rotation: \((-2,-1)\to(1,-2)\).
Reflection over \(x -\)axis: \((1,-2)\to(1,2)\) (Wrong).

Let's use another approach.
The transformation of a point \((x,y)\) for a \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation about the origin followed by a reflection over the \(y -\)axis:
Let \(P(x,y)\) be a point.
After \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation \(P_1=(y,-x)\).
After reflection over \(y -\)axis \(P_2=(-y,-x)\).
Take \(A(-2,-1)\):
\(y=-1,x = - 2\), \(P_2=(1,2)\) (Wrong).

The transformation of a point \((x,y)\) for a \(90^{\circ}\) counter - clockwise rotation about the origin followed by a reflection over the \(x -\)axis:
Let \(P(x,y)\) be a point.
After \(90^{\circ}\) counter - clockwise rotation \(P_1=(-y,x)\).
After reflection over \(x -\)axis \(P_2=(-y,-x)\).
Take \(A(-2,-1)\):
\(y=-1,x=-2\), \(P_2=(1,2)\) (Wrong).

The transformation of a point \((x,y)\) for a reflection over \(y -\)axis \((x,y)\to(-x,y)\) followed by \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation \((-x,y)\to(y,x)\).
Take \(A(-2,-1)\):
Reflection over \(y -\)axis: \((2,-1)\).
\(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation: \((-1,2)\) (Wrong).

The transformation of a point \((x,y)\) for a \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation about the origin \((x,y)\to(y, -x)\) followed by reflection over \(x -\)axis \((y,-x)\to(y,x)\).
Take \(A(-2,-1)\):
\(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation: \((-1,2)\).
Reflection over \(x -\)axis: \((-1,-2)\) (Wrong).

Let's use the matrix method.
The matrix for \(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation about the origin is \(R=\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\-1&0\end{pmatrix}\), and the matrix for reflection over \(y -\)axis is \(M=\begin{pmatrix}-1&0\\0&1\end{pmatrix}\).
The combined transformation matrix \(T = M\times R=\begin{pmatrix}-1&0\\0&1\end{pmatrix}\times\begin{pmatrix}0&1\\-1&0\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}0&-1\\-1&0\end{pmatrix}\).
For point \(A(-2,-1)\):
\(T\begin{pmatrix}-2\\-1\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}0\times(-2)+(-1)\times(-1)\\-1\times(-2)+0\times(-1)\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}1\\2\end{pmatrix}\) (Wrong).

The matrix for \(90^{\circ}\) counter - clockwise rotation about the origin is \(R'=\begin{pmatrix}0&-1\\1&0\end{pmatrix}\), and the matrix for reflection over \(x -\)axis is \(M'=\begin{pmatrix}1&0\\0&-1\end{pmatrix}\).
The combined transformation matrix \(T'=M'\times R'=\begin{pmatrix}1&0\\0&-1\end{pmatrix}\times\begin{pmatrix}0&-1\\1&0\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}0&-1\\-1&0\end{pmatrix}\).
For point \(A(-2,-1)\):
\(T'\begin{pmatrix}-2\\-1\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}0\times(-2)+(-1)\times(-1)\\-1\times(-2)+0\times(-1)\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}1\\2\end{pmatrix}\) (Wrong).

Let's check the first option again.

For \(A(-2,-1)\):
\(90^{\circ}\) clockwise rotation: \((-1,2)\).
Reflection over \(y -\)axis: \((1,2)\) (Wrong).
