Question

identify the transformation. is this a reflection, translation, or rotation?
○ translation
○ rotation
○ reflection

Explanation:

• Translation moves a figure without rotation/reflection (same orientation/position shift). Here, the figures don’t just shift—their orientation changed.
• Reflection flips over a line (mirror image). The figures don’t look like mirror images.
• Rotation turns a figure around a point. The second figure looks like the first was rotated (e.g., around a central point), changing its angle/orientation relative to the first. So the transformation is rotation.

Answer:

rotation
