Question

identify the given transformation. options: rotation, translation, reflection; image contains two cross - shaped figures (one pink, one blue) and the three option buttons for rotation, translation, reflection

Explanation:

To identify the transformation, we analyze the two cross - shaped figures (pink and blue).

• Rotation: A rotation would change the orientation of the figure around a point. But here, the orientation of the two crosses (the direction of their arms) seems the same.
• Reflection: A reflection would create a mirror - image, which would change the left - right or top - bottom orientation. The two crosses do not appear to be mirror - images.
• Translation: Translation is a transformation that moves a figure from one position to another without changing its shape, size, or orientation. The blue cross and the pink cross have the same shape, size, and orientation, and the pink cross seems to be moved (translated) from the position of the blue cross (or vice - versa) without any rotation or reflection.

Answer:

Translation
