Question

which of the following changes position only?
option #1: a translation
option #2: a reflection
option #3: a rotation
option #4: a dilation
(1 point)
the correct answer is option #\square.

Explanation:

• Translation (a slide) moves a figure without changing its shape, size, or orientation—only its position.
• Reflection flips the figure (changes orientation), rotation turns it (changes orientation), and dilation resizes it (changes size). So only translation changes position alone.

Answer:

Option #1: a translation
