Question

2 what is a translation? a a turn around a point b a flip over a line c a slide from one position to another d a change in size

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option based on the definition of translation in geometry:

• Option A: A turn around a point is a rotation, not a translation.
• Option B: A flip over a line is a reflection, not a translation.
• Option C: A slide from one position to another matches the definition of a translation, where a figure is moved without rotating or reflecting it.
• Option D: A change in size is a dilation, not a translation.

Answer:

C. A slide from one position to another
