It helps to make a sketch in this case, I assume you did that
(-2,-1) ---reflect in y=-5 ---> (-2,-9)
notice the midpoint of these points lies on y = -5
(-2,-9) ---reflect in x = 1)---> (4,-9)
again, notice the midpoint of these two points
lies on the line x = 1
The question is: find the image of o(-2 -1) after two reflections, first across the line y=-5, then across the line x=1, I'm confused because I reflected it across the y access and got -7,-6 then I reflected it x=1 and Got -6,-5, But that is not in the answers. I know I did something wrong could you help me by telling me which step I did wrong Please, and Thank you

Ooh, Thank you so much I realized I was subtracting 5 from both points not just Y
