Question

this drawing is an example of a ______.
options:
translation
reflection
octagon
rotation

Explanation:

The drawing shows two identical shapes mirrored across the vertical line at x=4, which matches the definition of a reflection (flip over a line of symmetry). Translation would shift the shape without mirroring, rotation would turn it, and an octagon is an 8-sided polygon, which this is not.

Answer:

reflection
