A reflection over the line y=x implies exchanging the x and y coordinates of a point. For example if you take a generic point (a,b) then its reflection over y=x is (b,a). Our point is (-1,3) so its reflection over y=x is the point (3,-1).
Then we have to translate it two units left. Translating a point left means that we are moving towards negative x values so we need to substract 2 from the x coordinate:
Finally we have to translate it 1 unit up towards positive y values so we have to add 1 to its y coordinate:
And these are the final coordinates. In the following picture you have the points you get after each step (from A to D) with the y=x line in blue:
The distance between a point 
on the given plane and the point (0, 2, 4) is
but since
and 
share critical points, we can instead consider the problem of optimizing subject to

The Lagrangian is

which gives the critical point
We can confirm that this is a minimum by checking the Hessian matrix of:
is positive definite (we see its determinant and the determinants of its leading principal minors are positive), which indicates that there is a minimum at this critical point.
At this point, we get a distance from (0, 2, 4) of
