Example Question #331 : Grade 8
Observe the location of the black and orange angles on the provided coordinate plane and identify which of the following transformations—rotation, translation, or reflection—the black angle has undergone in order to reach the position of the orange angle. Select the answer that provides the correct transformation shown in the provided image.
A reflection over the x-axis
A 
A translation up and to the right
A translation up and to the right
First, let's define the possible transformations.
Rotation: A rotation means turning an image, shape, line, etc. around a central point.
Translation: A translation means moving or sliding an image, shape, line, etc. over a plane.
Reflection: A reflection mean flipping an image, shape, line, etc. over a central line.
In the images from the question, the line was not rotated
