Question

reflection
\flipping\ a shape over a given line
diagram of triangle reflected over a vertical line
○ a
rotation
\spinning\ a shape around a certain point
diagram of triangle rotated around a point
○ b
translation
\sliding\ a shape in any direction
diagram of two triangles with sliding arrows
○ c
clockwise
rotating in the direction of a clock.
diagram of a circle with clockwise arrows
○ d
25 points

Explanation:

To determine which option represents a reflection, we analyze each:

• Option A: The diagram shows a shape "flipped" over a vertical line (the y - axis, x = 0), which matches the definition of reflection ("flipping" a shape over a given line).
• Option B: Shows rotation (spinning around a point), not reflection.
• Option C: Shows translation (sliding the shape), not reflection.
• Option D: Defines clockwise rotation, not reflection.

Answer:

A. Reflection "Flipping" a shape over a given line
