AB and CD are parallel. EF is the translation of AB. Is EF parallel to CD? Justify. What does this prove about the effect of translations on parallel lines?

No because EF is a translation and it cannot be parallel to CD. If AB and CD are parallel and EF is the translation then it would not work. If it was a reflection then it would be parallel.
