To identify the composition transformation mapping \((x,y) \rightarrow (-x, -y + 5)\), we can break it down into two steps.

  1. The transformation \((x,y) \rightarrow (-x, -y)\) reflects the point across the origin, which is equivalent to a rotation of 180 degrees.

  2. The next part, going from \((-x, -y)\) to \((-x, -y + 5)\), involves translating the point upwards by 5 units.

Putting these transformations together, the mapping involves rotating the point 180 degrees around the origin and then moving it up by 5 units.

Therefore, the correct option is:

Option #4: rotate 180 degrees, then up 5.
