Question

multiple-choice question how does a translation change the preimage? (additional context: 3.2 reflections, mallory cameron, lines of re..., x-axis y-axis)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

Translation is a rigid transformation that moves every point of a figure (preimage) the same distance in the same direction.

Step2: Determine change on preimage

A translation does not change the shape, size, or orientation of the preimage. It only changes the position of the preimage (shifts it horizontally, vertically, or both).

Answer:

A translation changes the position of the preimage (moves it) but does not change its shape, size, or orientation.
