Choose the CORRECT statements about translation.

• A shape moves from one position to another in any direction.

• A shape is reflected in an axis to form a reflection of the same shape.

• Each point of the shape must move in the same direction and distance.

• A shape is moved around a fixed point.

Describe the CORRECT translation between Shape A and Shape B.

• Shape A is translated 2 units up and 3 units to the right to Shape B.

• Shape A is translated 5 units to the left and 4 units down to Shape B.

• Shape A is translated 3 units to the right and 2 units up to Shape B.

• Shape A is translated 4 units to the right and 2 units up to Shape B.
