Answer:

Reflection.

Explanation:

The choices are

  • Translation
  • Rotation
  • Reflection
  • Dilation

The problems refers to a transformation that "flips" the figure about a fixed line. That kind of transformation is a reflection, which is a rigid transformation, that is, it won't change its size or shape.

Therefore, the right answer is Reflection.

Additionally, a figure can be reflected across the x-axis, the y-axis, a line y = x or a line y = -x.
