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
