Question

look at this shape: image of a triangle on a grid which image shows a translation? images of three triangles labeled a, b, c on grids options: a, b, c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

Translation is a transformation that slides a figure without rotating or resizing it, so the shape, size, and orientation remain the same, only the position changes.

Step2: Analyze each option

• Option A: The triangle's orientation (the direction it's facing) has changed (the base was horizontal, now the base is at an angle), so it's not a translation (likely a rotation or reflection).
• Option B: The triangle has the same shape, size, and orientation as the original. It appears to have been slid (translated) to a new position on the grid.
• Option C: The triangle's orientation has changed (it's flipped or rotated), so it's not a translation.

Answer:

B
