C3 exponential graph transformation

I'm stuck with part b(ii)

My thoughts were that it was stretched by 1/4 in the x axis, moved down by 2 and the negative e meant it was reflected in the x axis?

When I actually do this my graph does not match the mark scheme, I've attached what I got, maybe my reflection was wrong?
Hi,
You tried to get y to equal zero but it won't cross the x-axis at any point.
Its reflected to parallel to the x axis, not in the x axis, hence its effectively flipped in the y axis.
