ΔLOW→ΔL"O"W" looks like a translation. What two moves could replace the one translation? (1 point)

a reflection across perpendicular lines
a reflection across intersecting lines
a counterclockwise rotation of 180 degrees
a reflection across parallel lines

1 answer

In geometry, translations can often be expressed as a combination of two reflections. Specifically:

  • A translation can be represented by two reflections across parallel lines.

Given the options, the correct answer to replace a translation (ΔLOW to ΔL"O"W") would be:

  • a reflection across parallel lines.

To clarify, a translation can also be achieved through other means, but in the context of the options provided, reflecting over parallel lines can produce the same effect as a single translation move. Thus, the other potential moves listed do not directly correspond to translating a figure from one position to another.
