Question

psat math midterm assessment
drag the correct term to complete the definition.
______ is a transformation that slides a figure.
reflection image translation rotation preimage

Explanation:

To determine the correct term, we analyze the definitions of each option:

• Reflection: Flips a figure over a line (not a slide).
• Image: The result of a transformation (not the transformation itself).
• Translation: A transformation that slides a figure without rotating or reflecting it.
• Rotation: Turns a figure around a point (not a slide).
• Preimage: The original figure before a transformation (not the transformation).

Since the definition requires a transformation that slides a figure, "translation" is the correct term.

Answer:

translation
