points a, b, and c show the locations of three trumpet players during a formation.
when you translate points a, b, and c 5 units up, the triangle formed by the vertices is also translated 5 units up.
how does a translation move a figure? complete the statement.
a translation is a transformation that moves each point of a figure ? in ?

Explanation:

A translation is a type of transformation in geometry. It moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction. In the given problem, when points \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) (vertices of a triangle) are moved 5 units up, the entire triangle (the figure formed by the vertices) is moved 5 units up. This shows that each point of the figure is moved the same distance (5 units) in the same direction (up - which is a vertical direction).

Answer:

A translation is a transformation that moves each point of a figure the same distance in the same direction.
