Question

look at this shape: image of a purple shape on a grid which image shows a translation? images of three purple shapes labeled a, b, c a b c

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 slanted side) matches the original. It looks like a slide (translation) of the original shape.
• Option B: The slanted side is on the opposite side, indicating a reflection or rotation, not translation.
• Option C: The slanted side is reversed, indicating a reflection or rotation, not translation.

Answer:

A. Option A
