The correct sequence of steps used to move the triangle in Quadrant IV to the triangle in Quadrant II to show that the triangles are congruent is:
A: reflection to Quadrant I, then a translation of (3, 2)
An illustration of a coordinate plane with four quadrants shows the x and y axes extending from negative 10 to 10 in increments of 1. Two triangles, upper A upper B upper C and upper E upper G upper H, are plotted on the graph. The triangle upper A upper B upper C has its vertices marked with closed points at upper A left parenthesis 1 comma negative 1 right parenthesis, upper B left parenthesis 1 comma negative 3 right parenthesis, and upper C left parenthesis 4 comma negative 3 right parenthesis. The triangle upper E upper G upper H has its vertices marked with closed points at upper E left parenthesis negative 2 comma 5 right parenthesis, upper G left parenthesis negative 2 comma 3 right parenthesis, and upper H left parenthesis negative 5 comma 3 right parenthesis. In triangle upper E upper G upper H, side upper E upper G is labeled as h, side upper G upper H is labeled as e, and side upper H upper E is labeled as g.
What is the sequence of steps used to move the triangle in Quadrant IV to the triangle in Quadrant II to show that the triangles are congruent?
A:reflection to Quadrant I, then a translation of (3, 2)
B:reflection to Quadrant III, then a translation of (−1, 6)
C:rotation 90 degrees clockwise, then a translation of (1, 6)
D:translation to Quadrant II, then a rotation 90 degrees counterclockwise
