Answer:

Translation when a geometric figure slides up or down for coordinate plane. The figure moves its location, but doesn't change its orientation. It also doesn't change its size or shape.

Answer and Explanation

__________________________________________________________

According to BBC,

A translation moves a shape up, down, or from side to side but it does not change its appearance in any other way. The translation is an example of a transformation. A transformation is a way of changing the size or position of a shape. Every point in the shape is translated to the same distance in the same direction.
