The correct problem for coordinate planes

[hbtcutie92]

The coordinates of the endpoints of AB are A(2,6) and B( 4, 2). Is the image A"B" the same as if it was reflected in the x axis then dilated by 1/2 as the image is if it dilated by 1/2, then reflected in the x axis? Justify your answer. (A grid is optional) "

I know dilation means a bigger picture of the original. And a reflection is like the opposite, like in a mirror. Can someone help me figure out how to if not help answer the question, help me start?
