Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze translation

Translation is moving a figure without rotation or reflection. The shape of the letter \(R\) has changed its orientation, so it's not translation.

Step2: Analyze reflection

Reflection flips a figure over a line. The given transformation is not a simple flip over a line.

Step3: Analyze rotation

Rotation turns a figure around a point. The letter \(R\) has been turned (rotated) to get the new shape.

Answer:

C. rotation
