Question

which image shows a translation? images of geometric figures on grids labeled a, b, c, with multiple - choice options a, b, c below

Explanation:

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

• Option A: The figure's orientation or shape doesn't match a simple slide (it looks like a different orientation or maybe a reflection/rotation involved).
• Option B: The figure has a different shape (a notch vs. the original in A), so it's not a translation.
• Option C: The figure appears to be a slide (translation) of a similar - shaped figure (assuming the original is like a shape that can be slid to form C, with same shape, size, and orientation maintained through sliding).

Answer:

C
