Which of the following describes the translation of the graph of y = x 2 to obtain the graph of y = - x 2 - 3?

Im assuming that x 2 means x^2 (x squared)

y = - x^2 is the reflection of y = x^2 in the x axis

Then the - 3 moves the graph down 3 units

so the transformation is described by

a reflection in the y axis, then a translation 3 units downwards
