Question

look at this shape:
image of a blue trapezoid on a grid
which image shows a translation?
images of three blue shapes labeled a, b, c on grids
multiple choice options: a, b, c

Explanation:

A translation is a rigid transformation that slides a shape without rotating, reflecting, or changing its size/shape. Option A is rotated, Option B is vertically flipped, while Option C matches the original shape's orientation and size, just shifted to a new position.

Answer:

C. The shape in option C that matches the original trapezoid's orientation and size, shifted to a lower position on the grid.
