Question

look at this shape: shape on grid which image shows a translation? images labeled a, b, c options: 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, and it's moved along a straight line.

Step2: Analyze Each Option

• Option A: The shape's orientation (angle of the slanted side) is changed, so it's a rotation or reflection, not translation.
• Option B: The shape has the same size, shape, and orientation as the original, just moved (slid) to a new position.
• Option C: The shape's orientation is changed (slanted side direction), so it's not a translation.

Answer:

B
