Question

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

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

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

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: The shape has the same orientation, size, and shape as the original. It looks like a slide (translation).
• Option B: The shape is reflected (mirror image) or rotated, so not a translation.
• Option C: The shape is rotated, so not a translation.

Answer:

A. The shape in option A
