Question

look at this shape: image of a triangle on a grid which image shows a translation? images labeled a, b, c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Translation Definition

Translation is a transformation that slides a shape without rotating or resizing it, so the shape's orientation and size remain the same, only position changes.

Step2: Analyze Each Option

• Option A: The triangle's orientation (angle of the sides) seems changed, likely a rotation or reflection, not translation.
• Option B: The triangle's orientation is altered, not a slide (translation) as the shape's "direction" looks rotated.
• Option C: The triangle appears to be slid (translated) without rotation or resizing, matching the translation definition.

Answer:

C. The triangle in option C
