Question

look at this shape: image of a blue triangle on a grid which image shows a translation? three grid images labeled a, b, c with triangles; a: a gray triangle, b: a blue triangle, c: a blue triangle rotated? (note: ocr retains text, omits images)

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

A 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 triangle is flipped (reflected or rotated in a way that changes orientation), so not a translation.
• Option B: The triangle has the same shape, size, and orientation as the original, just moved (slid) to a new position. This fits translation.
• Option C: The triangle is rotated, changing its orientation, so not a translation.

Answer:

B. Option B
