Question

look at this shape: image of a triangle on a grid which image shows a translation? images labeled a, b, c on grids options: a, b, c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

Translation is a rigid transformation that slides a figure without rotating or reflecting it, so the shape, size, and orientation remain the same.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: The triangle has the same shape, size, and orientation as the original, just moved (slid) to a new position.
• Option B: The triangle is rotated (orientation changed), so not a translation.
• Option C: The triangle is rotated (orientation changed), so not a translation.

Answer:

A. Option A
