Question

look at this shape;

image of a blue triangle on a grid

which image shows a translation?

image a: blue triangle shifted on grid
image b: blue triangle rotated on grid
image c: blue triangle rotated on grid

options: a, b, c

Explanation:

Step1: Define translation property

A translation moves a shape without rotating, flipping, or changing its orientation/size; it only shifts position.

Step2: Compare each option to original

• Option A: The triangle has the same orientation, size, and shape as the original, only shifted right and down.
• Option B: The triangle is rotated, so it is not a translation.
• Option C: The triangle is flipped/rotated, so it is not a translation.

Answer:

A. The triangle shifted right and down (same orientation)
