What is the matrix representing a reflection of the Cartesian plane in the line y = -x followed by a reflection in the y-axis?

I drew pictures representing:

*First reflecting (x,y) in the y-axis to get (-x,y)
*I then projected this onto the x-axis to get (-x,0)
*I then rotated this anti-clockwise by pi/4

I used these above steps to represent the reflection in the line y = -x

*I then reflected this point in the y-axis.
*I obtained a matrice by multiplying each of the matrices of the above transformations.

My answer however was wrong. Is there anything wrong with my above steps?
