Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

Translation is a transformation that slides a shape without rotating or flipping it, so the shape's orientation and size remain the same, only position changes.

Step2: Analyze each option

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

Answer:

A. Option A
