Question

look at this shape! which image shows a translation? a b c

Explanation:

Step1: Recall translation definition

Translation is a rigid - motion that moves every point of a figure the same distance in the same direction. The shape and orientation of the figure remain the same.

Step2: Analyze option A

In option A, the shape has been rotated (its orientation has changed), so it is not a translation.

Step3: Analyze option B

In option B, the shape has the same orientation and has just been moved to a different position. This is a translation.

Step4: Analyze option C

In option C, the shape has been rotated and possibly reflected (its orientation is different), so it is not a translation.

Answer:

B. The image in option B shows a translation.
