Question

look at this shape: image of a blue trapezoid on a grid which image shows a translation? images of three options labeled 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 shape is rotated (orientation changed), so not a translation.
• Option B: The shape is reflected (orientation changed), so not a translation.
• Option C: The shape has the same shape, size, and orientation as the original, just moved (slid), so it's a translation.

Answer:

C. The image labeled C (where the shape has the same orientation, shape, and size as the original, just moved)
