Question
- which type of transformation took place?
reflection
no transformation
translation
Step1: Recall transformation definitions
- Reflection: A transformation that flips a figure over a line (the line of reflection). The line of reflection acts as a mirror.
- Translation: A transformation that slides a figure without rotating or flipping it.
- No Transformation: The figure remains in the exact same position.
Step2: Analyze the given figure
Looking at the two - shaped figures in the coordinate plane, we can observe that one figure is a mirror image of the other. There is a line (in this case, a vertical line near \(x = - 1\)) over which one figure is flipped to get the other. It is not a slide (translation) because the orientation (in terms of left - right direction relative to a central line) is reversed. And it is not no transformation as the position of the figure has changed in a non - sliding, non - rotational (but flipping) way.
