Question

Select the statement that is not true.

A. The translation of a line is a pair
of parallel lines.

B. The rotation of a pair of parallel lines is a pair of parallel lines.

C. The reflection of a line is a line.

D. The rotation of a line is a line.

Answer 1

The rotation of a line is not a line; instead, it forms an arc or a curve.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is not true is D. The rotation of a line is a line.

In geometry, rotation is a transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point called the center of rotation. When a line is rotated, it does not remain a line. Instead, it forms an arc or a curve.

For example, if a line is rotated 90 degrees clockwise around a point, it will form a quarter of a circle.
