arrows at a transform plate boundary are:
pointing away from each other
side - by - side and slide past each other
there are no arrows... only dashed lines
pointing towards each other

(the image on the left shows a map of plate boundaries, including the eurasian plate, african plate, etc., with markings of hot spots and plate boundaries.)
At a transform plate boundary, tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This is represented by arrows that show the side - by - side sliding motion. Arrows pointing away from each other are for divergent boundaries (where plates move apart), arrows pointing towards each other are for convergent boundaries (where plates move towards each other), and the statement about only dashed lines is incorrect as arrows are used to show motion at transform boundaries.
