1 answer

To determine the sequence of steps to move the triangle in Quadrant IV to the triangle in Quadrant II and show that they are congruent, we can analyze the coordinates and their relative positions.

  1. Reflect the triangle in Quadrant IV across the x-axis to move it into Quadrant III. This changes the coordinates of the triangle from:

    • \( (1, -1) \) to \( (1, 1) \)
    • \( (1, -3) \) to \( (1, 3) \)
    • \( (4, -3) \) to \( (4, 3) \)
  2. Then, translate the triangle from Quadrant III to Quadrant II. The translation required would be moving left and up. Specifically, we would need to translate by \( (-5, 0) \):

    • \( (1, 1) \) translates to \( (-4, 1) \)
    • \( (1, 3) \) translates to \( (-4, 3) \)
    • \( (4, 3) \) translates to \( (-1, 3) \)

Therefore, the sequence of transformations involves a reflection then a translation.

Given the provided options for movement, the correct response would be "reflection to Quadrant I, then a translation of (3, 2)", noting that the incorrect designation of Quadrants is a bit confusing as one would first appear to be focusing on Quadrant III while moving towards II.

So, the best choice is reflection in Quadrant III, then a translation to Quadrant II. Their congruence is establishes through the transformations listed.
