Question

In each figure a || b. Determine whether the third figure is a translation image of the first figure. Write yes or no. Explain your answer.

b. No; it is a reflection followed by a translation.

Explanation:

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

The second and third figures are translations of each other. The first figure appears to be a reflection of the second, not a translation. Hence the first and third figures are not translations of each other.

If an image is translated, all of the pre-image line segments are parallel to the image line segments. That is not the case for the first and third figures, in which the top line segments go in different directions.
