For shapes to be similar, the correct definition is:
**a** - Same shape but different size.
Similar shapes maintain the same angles and proportional sides, but they can differ in size.
Regarding your second question about translating a shape using (x - 2, y + 3):
When you apply the translation (x - 2, y + 3), you are moving the shape in a specific manner.
- The shape will move **2 units to the left** (because of x - 2).
- The shape will move **3 units up** (because of y + 3).
So, the overall effect is that every point of the shape is adjusted by subtracting 2 from the x-coordinate and adding 3 to the y-coordinate.
