Question

look at this shape: image of a trapezoid on a grid which image shows a translation? images labeled a, b, c with trapezoids; options a, b, c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

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

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: The shape is rotated (orientation changed), not a translation.
• Option B: The shape has the same shape, size, and orientation as the original, just slid (translated).
• Option C: The shape is rotated (orientation changed), not a translation.

Answer:

B. The middle image (Option B)
