Functions — practice question

The diagram shows a section of the curve with equation $y = k\sin\left(\frac{1}{2}x\right)$, where $k$ is a positive constant and $x$ is measured in radians. Point $A$ is a minimum point on the curve.
(a)[1]

State the coordinates of $A$.

(b)[3]

The curve is transformed in this order: first translated 2 units in the negative $y$-direction; then reflected in the $x$-axis. Determine the equation of the resulting curve and the coordinates of the point on it that corresponds to $A$.
