Question

Is one flag a translation image of the other, or a rotation image? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: Translation

Step-by-step explanation:

The flags are a translation of each other, moving only a few coordinate points ahead but NOT changing their orientation or direction. In a rotation image, the image WILL change its orientation its held at and move the points left or right prior to their setting. In simple terms, a translation only moves the location of a image (which is true for this image), while a rotation will change its shape and rotate it into a new position.

Answer 2

Answer: The flag that is below the horizontal axis, is the sownward translation of the flag that is over the same axis.

Explanation:

Note that a translation transformation only moves the flag some units but does not change the direction. A rotation would have changed where the flag points (for example to the left instead of to the right).
