Question

identify the type of rigid motion shown as a reflection, translation, or rotation.

Explanation:

A rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point. In this case, the figure has been turned around a point (not necessarily the origin, but the key is the turning motion). A reflection would flip the figure over a line (like a mirror image), and a translation would slide the figure without rotating or flipping. Since the figure's orientation has changed (it's turned), it's a rotation.

Answer:

rotation
