Question

look at this shape: image of a purple quadrilateral on a grid which image shows a translation? images labeled a, b, c (a: rotated quadrilateral, b: quadrilateral in new grid position, c: reflected quadrilateral) options: a, b, c. submit work it out not feeling ready yet? these can help:

Explanation:

A translation in geometry is a transformation that slides a figure without rotating or reflecting it, so the shape and orientation remain the same. Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: The shape appears to be rotated (orientation changed), so it's not a translation.
• Option B: The shape has the same orientation and size as the original, just moved (slid) to a different position, which fits the definition of a translation.
• Option C: The shape appears to be reflected (mirror - image like change in orientation), so it's not a translation.

Answer:

B. Option B
