A line passes through the points (2,-2) and (-6, 2). The point (a, -4) is also one the line. What is the value of a

A reflection about the x axis, about y=0, is the mapping (x',y')=(x,-y) so
A dilation of 2 is the mapping (x'',y'')=(2x', 2y')
So
We can rewrite that without the primes and combine the powers of 2.
Let's graph these and see if we're close,
Plot y= (1/4)^x, y= - (1/4)^{x}, y = - 2^{1-x}
