Question

look at this shape: image of a purple l - shaped figure on a grid which image shows a translation? three grid - based figures labeled a, b, c, and option buttons a, b, c, along with a submit button

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

Translation is a rigid 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's orientation (the "L" - part direction) seems changed (reflection or rotation - like), not a translation.
• Option B: The shape's orientation is different (the "L" - part is extended in a different way, looks like a rotation or reshape, not translation).
• Option C: The shape has the same orientation, size, and shape as the original, just moved (slid) - this fits translation.

Answer:

C
