Question

identify the transformation shown on the coordinate plane.
options: translation, reflection, rotation

Explanation:

First, analyze each transformation type:

1. Translation: Slides a shape without flipping/rotating; orientation stays identical. The two triangles have different orientations, so this is not a translation.
2. Reflection: Flips a shape over a line, creating a mirror image. The triangles do not show a mirror-like flip across an axis or line.
3. Rotation: Turns a shape around a fixed point, changing its orientation. The lower triangle is a turned (rotated) version of the upper triangle, matching this transformation.

Answer:

rotation
