Question

look at this shape: image of a blue triangle on a grid which image shows a translation? three grid images labeled a, b, c with blue triangles; below them: a b c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

Translation is a 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 triangle is rotated (orientation changed), so not a translation.
• Option B: The triangle has the same shape, size, and orientation as the original, just moved (slid) – this is a translation.
• Option C: The triangle is rotated (orientation changed), so not a translation.

Answer:

B. Option B (the middle image)
