Question

look at this shape: which image shows a translation?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

Translation is a rigid - motion that moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.

Step2: Analyze Option A

Option A shows the triangle moved horizontally to the left. The shape, size, and orientation remain the same, which is a translation.

Step3: Analyze Option B

Option B shows the triangle rotated, which is a rotation transformation, not a translation.

Step4: Analyze Option C

Option C shows the triangle reflected (flipped), which is a reflection transformation, not a translation.

Answer:

A. Option A
