An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x and y axes extending from negative 5 to 5 in increments of 1. Three triangles are plotted on the graph. The first triangle is placed in the first quadrant with vertices marked as closed points at the following coordinates: left parenthesis 1 comma 1 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 1 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 2 comma 3 right parenthesis. The second triangle is placed in the second quadrant with vertices marked as closed points at the following coordinates: left parenthesis negative 2 comma 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis negative 3 comma 4 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis negative 4 comma 2 right parenthesis. The third triangle is placed in the fourth quadrant with vertices marked as closed points at the following coordinates: left parenthesis 1 comma negative 1 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 1 comma negative 3 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 3 comma negative 2 right parenthesis. An arrow goes from the point left parenthesis 1 comma 1 right parenthesis to left parenthesis negative 4 comma 2 right parenthesis; an arrow goes from the point left parenthesis 2 comma 3 right parenthesis to left parenthesis negative 3 comma 4 right parenthesis; an arrow goes from left parenthesis 3 comma 1 right parenthesis to left parenthesis negative 2 comma 2 right parenthesis.

To move the triangle in Quadrant IV to the triangle in Quadrant II and show that they are congruent, the correct sequence of steps is reflection, then translation.
Here's the reasoning:
Thus, the answer is reflection, then translation.
