Question

does the picture show a translation?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the definition of translation

Translation is a transformation that moves every point of a figure or space by the same distance in a given direction.

Step2: Analyze the given figure

In the given figure, the two triangles are mirror - images of each other across the y - axis. A translation would move the triangle without reflection. Since there is a reflection (not just a movement by the same distance in a direction), it is not a translation.

Answer:

No
