Answer:

Option (2). (-1.25, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rule for the dilation of ΔABC with center (0, 0) and a scale factor of 0.25,

(x, y) → (0.25x, 0.25y)

Then reflected in the x-axis,

(0.25x, 0.25y) → (0.25x, -0.25y)

Coordinates of point A from the given graph are (-5, 4)

After transformation, coordinates of the point will be,

A(-5, 4) → P(-1.25, -1)  

Therefore, after transformation coordinates of the point A will be P(-1.25, -1).

Option 2 will be the answer.
