Question

which transformation describes the change in the letter f?
a. translation
b. reflection
c. rotation
d. cannot be determined

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze translation

Translation means sliding a figure without rotating or flipping. Here, the letter F just moved its position (slid) from one place to another in the plane.

Step2: Analyze reflection

Reflection would flip the letter F over a line. But the given Fs do not show a flipped - over (mirror - image) relationship.

Step3: Analyze rotation

Rotation would turn the letter F around a point. But the orientation of the Fs is the same.

Answer:

A. translation
