Question

look at this shape;
image of a purple quadrilateral on a grid
which image shows a translation?
images of three quadrilaterals labeled a, b, c on grids
options: a, b, c

Explanation:

A translation is a rigid transformation that slides a shape without rotating, reflecting, or resizing it. The original shape and its translated version must have the same orientation and shape.

• Option A: The shape is rotated, so it is not a translation.
